I've done a little testing, using both Vista SP2 and Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop. I went around to various locations in my house and tested the signal level my laptop was sensing. I used iwconfig to test the sensed signal level under Ubuntu and Vistumbler to test the sensed signal level under Vista. I do not yet know how to test transmit power (in either mW or dBm) under Vista, so that set of tests will have to wait.
Location 1 Ubuntu: -67 to -75dB Vista: -44dB Location 2 Ubuntu: -79 to -87dB Vista: -59dB Location 3 Ubuntu: -68dB Vista: -44dB For what it's worth, I'm still using WPA2 security. I checked the transmit signal strength on my WAP, and it's set to high (though it gave no actual numbers -- just the option of low, medium, and high). So far, it looks like I'm still having the same bug as the rest of you guys. I'll post more more stuff as I figure this mystery out. BTW, do you all have the same symptoms as me? Or am I waaay off here? i.e. do you all have similar oddities with received signal strength under ubuntu vs other OSs? -- [Karmic] wireless connection keeps dropping - WPA TKIP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/481432 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
