I use wireless on a FreeBSD 6.1 box in an area of low signal to my Access Point. I want to be able to inspect the signal strength/quality so that I may adjust the antenna to get best results. What is the best diagnostic to use?For instance: wicontrol wi0 produces: ... Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 28 47 1 ] dBm Coms Quality: [ 14 -85 -99 ] ... but what is "good" or which numbers should I be seeking maximise or minimise? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Check out net-mgmt/kismet (I believe it is). That tool is a nice program to audit wireless networks, and it has some nice stuff about signal strength as well. -- Jim Capozzoli D6499626857801B6065013E3645A6B75 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
