I'm messing with ath9k mostly. Just trying to probe some values for reporting as of now. In the old days, seems you could set the sensitivity for madwifi though..could help in some cases...

It doesn't make sense to try to add a single 'sensitivity' knob. There are many different radio parameters that are related to that, some calibrated, some configured - madwifi never had anything useful for that either. - Felix ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

If you happen to know some of the related tunables, I'd like to take a look at them, at least.
