hi David fw was my first a thought, as i saw 2.4 ! just now i fired up my hp nx6110 lappy: ipw2200BG rev 05 (pciid: 8086:4220;sub: 103c:12f6) livna firmware, kernel 2174 without connected to my AP (it's off), i can scan my neighbors AP by a quality: 73/100, signal level: -55dBm in manged mode. and the building is maid with strong concrete. difficult to drill holes in. btw. i maid the experience that i get the best connection to *MY* AP, if i choose the same channel like my neighbor. (same AP manufacturers) maybe it's useful to check: - *only* the last firmware in the directory and modprobe -r /-sv ipw2200 (i got some strange experiences with fw-download with another card; means i'm not sure if modprobe -r unloads and -sv loads the firmware; should do, but since yesterday i'm really not sure !) - udevmonitor - iwevent - your AP: no "turbo's" aka nitro,..., - wep/wpa that's what i would do, but ... good luck ! ronald -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
