Public bug reported:
I'm testing Intrepid on laptop with atheros AR242x chipset
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x
802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
The madwifi driver, Intrepid is using detects the chipset and it's working but
not so good.
1. It only detects AP broadcasting on channels 1-10, my wifi was working on
channel 13 and i had to change the channel to lower one.
2. the AP is in the same room I am, but:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"lod.air"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447 GHz Access Point: 00:0E:2E:AF:A7:CF
Bit Rate=24 Mb/s Tx-Power=27 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Power Management:off
Link Quality=78/100 Signal level:-55 dBm Noise level=-105 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
pan0 no wireless extensions.
my Rate is only 24Mb/s and the real speed is not more than 300kb/s. It's
killing me..
I've tried the old madwifi driver I was using in Hardy but it can't
compile.
I will provide any info you want..
