When I'm near my AP everything works fine with 2.6 Thomas> too. Start out by forcing it to a lower link speed, at that signal quality you really don't want to try and go above 2MBit/sec. If you keep trying to do 11MBit/sec the card will constantly try the higher rate and then lose signal, drop down and try again. Fixing the rate should improve the situation - at least it has always done so for me ;-) Cheers, Jes - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
