Hi I have this card. You need a regdomain allowing this, latest compat-wireless, latest crda, latest wireless-regdb and ath_info tool from madwifi. First download the wireless interface: # ip link set wlan0 down or # ifconfig wlan0 down Retrieve the module's PCI memory address with lspci: # lspci -v ... 02:06.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) Subsystem: Atheros Communications Inc. TRENDnet TEW-443PI Wireless PCI Adapter Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 16 here --> Memory at ff5e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] ... Set regdomain to 0x55: # ./ath_info -w ff5e0000 regdomain 0x55 Now download ath5k: # modprobe -r ath5k Finally : # modprobe cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=BZ && sleep 2s && COUNTRY="BZ" crda && modprobe -v ath5k # iw list Thank you, I did what you told me. And now I see that I have 30 dBm max this is my *new* "iw reg get" country BZ: (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 30) (5735 - 5835 @ 40), (N/A, 30) Other tools also say I have 30 dBm Max. But the problems continues because I don't see any power improvements. I once again played with this #define AR5K_TUNE_MAX_TXPOWER which is in the ath5k.h file. And set it to 600. All this using the 31/May/2009 driver. What else can I try to get the maximum power in Linux? Thank you so much for your help! -- omniprese...@wired® _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
