I have noticed that networking does not work as well for me as it does for those using intel machines. But the thing I just noticed tonight, is that my machine seems to receive signals just as well as the intel machines, it's the transmissions that cause trouble. For example, I was downloading a 700 MB files and it kept downloading withought a problem, but at the same time, I was trying to work on a remote machine with ssh and it was acting really bad. Sometimes it would not respond to my keyboard pressing for 30 seconds or more. I also noticed that this is the only available txpower from iwlist. eth1 1 available transmit-powers : 15 dBm (31 mW) So for anyone who hacks the aiport driver, is that the only txpower the card supports? Is it a hardware limitation or a driver limitation? Or is it something that's unknown since apple won't release the documentation? Ryan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
