Maybe we miss some calibration needed for the > low distance with jamming? I wanted to make some iperf tests so I connected keyboard and monitor. I could not connect anymore after this. My reaction? What a Terrible Failure. After experimenting, it appeared to be about direction of the antenna. Moving it by 90 degrees caused disconnection and reconnecting was not possible. Moving it back worked like a charm... well - kind of - because speed was still horrible. However at least connecting was working fine. So we may be lacking something important about calibration. But on the other hand, wl or ndiswrapper are not much better. Speed achieved with ndiswrapper can be 3Mb/s and 15Mb/s after 10 minutes (without touching anything). To make it even more ugly, PIO mode is almost not working for me. I can connect to the network (with antenna in the correct direction), but getting IP (dhcp) causes loosing authentication. Every time. After loosing connection taking interface down & up is required. I'm leaving this for now. Hope noone will ever meet card like mine. -- Rafa?
