I tried some tests with a laptop running ipw2200 running under Fedora F15 (nightly live image which was built yesterday). Adjusting the sens parameter does let the laptop roam beautifully between two APs with the same ssid. In this case the driver gives positive integers for the sens parameter. So it seems I do indeed need to chase down the driver code for my other netbook (ath5k) which does not permit changes to, or report, the sens parameter. At some point I will test another machine running iwlwifi 4965 but it is a little late Sunday evening here. However I am now confident that this will work fine - and NetworkManager is not a problem when it comes to roaming! So I guess you will also need to chase the RALink driver code and hope that it can be made to include the sensitivity... or switch wireless cards to one which does support it! This has certainly been a learning curve for me! -- 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
