Now, set "sens" to some value a little lower, e.g. > > iwconfig <wlan_if> sens -60 I seem to have been thwarted at the first try - I had done the walkaround and found the mid point but when I set the sens value by doing iwconfig wlan0 sens -65 I get: Error for wireless request "Set Sensitivity" (8B08) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported. I was doing this as root so it seems I can't change the sens value unless there is some permission that needs changing somewhere?
