I tested a different laptop with different wireless card: 03:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05) [root@lapmike2 ~]# lsmod|grep ipw ipw2200 116546 0 libipw 21037 1 ipw2200 cfg80211 110951 2 ipw2200,libipw lib80211 4107 3 lib80211_crypt_ccmp,ipw2200,libipw For that laptop I can change the value of sens! So I suppose that for the netbook it will not be possible to achieve what I needed and only if the driver supports the sens value - I really wish this was easier information to find! -- mike c -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
