FWIW, just one more data point: when I ran F10 on my eeepc 901 (ralink wireless) it showed many more wireless APs in my neighborhood than it now does on F12. I still get good signal strength on my own AP, but it seems odd that it now tends to show 1/2 to 2/3 of the number it used to show. (I now see six or eight, including mine, I used to see 10-14 routinely). I suppose some of them may have gone off the air.... > On Sat, Dec 26, 2009 at 3:16 AM, Adrin Jalali <adrin.jalali@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > > > Hi :) > > I checked that, no compelling exists.
