Agreed, my tests with detuned AM broadcast radios close to the left-hand antenna show a marked change in cross-band interference products when a laptop in infrastructure mode is closer to an access point or peer in ad-hoc. > we need to confirm that this works in mesh mode too. I suspect that it does. I'm interested to know the real answer. I just did a half hour test in mesh mode, with access point off, using http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Mesh_Network_Details#Usage and found at least four distinct levels detected in this way, depending on the distance between two units, with one unit doing a "ping -f" of the other. The thresholds between each level seemed to be logarithmic by distance ... in that there were more thresholds the closer the units got to each other. In http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wireless_Driver_README there are no obvious signal to noise measurements for mesh mode. Each SNR measurement specifically says it is for infrastructure. -- James Cameron mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@laptop.org http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
