Yup. Windows firmware talks NDIS. If you run 'strings 4345r6rtecdc.bin |

Hi Daniel,

Bit late response. Sorry.

43455c0-roml/sdio-ag-ndis-vista-pktfilter-d0c-pno-aoe-p2p-dhdoid-ndoe-gtkoe-mfp-proptxstatus-dmatxrc-keepalive-ap-ampduretry-pclose-txbf

Yes, ndis. So no easy way to run the same firmware on the 2 OSes.

Indeed. I could try building nearly same firmware target. Can you provide the firmware version as well.

Now reading over your orignal email again:

So it picks up something in the PC. Some sources of interference that I have seen before are USB3 and HDMI. Maybe try to shield those if present and see if that helps. The nvram contains sensitivity parameters, but as you stated you are using the same nvram for windows and linux for now we can rule it out for debugging the issue.
