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!
