This was using a Samsung NC10 netbook with wireless details: lspci gives for the wireless: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) and [root@samsung2 ~]# lsmod|grep ath ath5k 143403 0 mac80211 188716 1 ath5k ath 7145 1 ath5k cfg80211 110951 3 ath5k,mac80211,ath I have now tried a test with a different laptop running the following wireless: 03:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05) [root@lapmike2 ~]# lsmod|grep ipw ipw2200 116546 0 libipw 21037 1 ipw2200 cfg80211 110951 2 ipw2200,libipw lib80211 4107 3 lib80211_crypt_ccmp,ipw2200,libipw This wireless card in this second laptop does seem to have a driver that is allowed to change the sensitivity! I guess for the first test I did the sens value can't be changed so I will run the tests with the second laptop instead. -- mike c _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
