Also, it reports dramatically different signal strengths than madwifi (though this may be because madwifi sets my maximun Tx power to 17dBm, and ath5k sets it to 20). I don't see any untoward CPU usage when ath5k is loaded. wpa_supplicant uses about 40% on one core, give or take. --------------enig6CA44B66C51D358E6CB0F83E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknWEYIACgkQjfayWCA8dDFpTQCeKYto2fXfrzi7SEISJJQhwA3k 3ZAAmQHm18s9WGqbnNi1zDwEpNbQupo6 =duYm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig6CA44B66C51D358E6CB0F83E--
