Now i have installed compat-wireless for kernel-3.3.4 and it did not changed anything, i continued detecting only 2 wifi networks, like the router antenna didnt had any force, but when i boot kernel-3.3.1 i have again about 10 wifi networks detected, so this is a problem that appeared from kernel-3.3.2 and continues existing upstream. -- 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
