#1, 2, 3, and 4:

THANK YOU!!!  for all you are doing to make this card work. 

I wish I could help somehow.  I've been lurking on this mailing list for 
a while now, and most of the emails are way beyond my talents.

I am, at this very moment, using a broadcom "4306" as reported by 
iwconfig, on Debian Etch, installed in early July 2007.  My question:

        What software do you use to determine the quality of the 
connection to the AP? 

gkrellm says that I have a -253 "level".  I know enough about radio 
transmission to know that -253 db is useless, but this interface is 
working fairly well as long as I'm relatively close (up one floor, over 
one room).  I can't connect at the opposite end of my home, <100', which 
is where I want to hang out.

Thanks,

Rob
