Hi! I can confirm both problems listed above.
Hardware (Thinkpad T42): Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) The problems are: [1] - actual strength Having the issue [2] as described below I am also sure that the strength of the link is deteriorated in Edgy. Sometimes I get 2% signal or something similar on a pretty stable AP, which never happened in Dapper, and which is back to normal after reboot. Sure enough, because of this I am often disconnected, and sometimes it is impossible to reconnect until reboot. [2] - reporting As in the comment above I have observed that the signal strength is reported differently in Edgy. I have been using an AP for some time now and I used to get 46-50% in Dapper. In Edgy I get exactly *half* of that, i.e. 23-25%. So there is definitely a problem with the reporting. Ready to roll any experiment on my side if needed. -- Atheros WLAN (MadWifi) poor signal strength https://launchpad.net/bugs/66481 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
