This driver seems to refuse sens values in dBm - but only as positive numbers - so I am unsure what the appropriate value is in this case - but it seems that if the wireless driver is able to change the sens value and it can be set in dBm then your advice is good - however I did not realise there was so much variation in support on the driver side and this whole issue is a lot more complicated than I first realised! -- mike c _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
