Netgear on the other hand managed to ship WG511v2 batchs with broken rssi<->dbm conversion parameters. Therefore, don't be surprised if you see some odd signal readings. (Note: This bug does not affect range or performance. Rhe conversion is done in the driver and so far the dBm signal is only a indicator for the user about signal strength...) > I just downloaded the latest kernel (2.6.33.1), will build this afternoon > I already have the P%$ firmware for kernels above 2.6.28, so I can test > Will update later here is the link: (also has fullmac firmwares) http://daemonizer.de/prism54/prism54-fw/ Regards, Chr
