Just repeat: ## Before this patch there were short peeks from -78dB to -71dB. ## After patch there are short measurement drops from -62dB to -70dB. MadWiFi does not produce such drops. > how many antennas do you have attached to your device? One miniPCI device has only one antenna attached.

I have found that "fixed-b" is a right connector. There is a stupid question why? When I am using "out" and not "aux". I just guess that "out" should be 'a' and 'aux' should be 'b'. Please again have a look at: http://78.108.103.11:11080/cgi-bin/rodga_1day_big.cgi It looks like signal power jumped to -46dB. It seems that ATH5k never switched to "fixed-b" and I has been receiving garbage from empty U.FL. It is a miracle that it has been worked. MadWiFi is much more intelligent. It tests both inputs and selects better one. > btw: when the signal measurement was low, did you see any negative impact on > the thruput as well? Nope. http://78.108.103.11:11080/cgi-bin/pktloss_1day_big.cgi But the line is so overpowered that I would not notify 8dB drop. regards Jara > bruno -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
