hi,

Thank for the information. I compile the 2.6.28 but there are no 
difference for the number of Access Point.

I'm ready to search myself to change file .c, but have you a idea where 
are the files to change to improve the sensibility, or reduce a thresold ?

thank.

PS : Just for fun, I work with windows to have my connection, and with 
linux/debian in a vmware to write this mail :-)
