Is 15 degrees fahrenheit too cold for the typical linux router built using an old computer? I imagine the cold is good for hard drives and it keeps the electronics cool.
Has anyone had favorable results with the RealTek 8180 wireless driver in recent 2.6 kernels? I'm getting a very weak connection that likes to stall a lot where I'm wondering if it's poor drivers on the Linux end or problems with the Linksys WAP11 that it goes through. I've gone from 2.6.10 adding a Realtek 8180 driver as a third party deal to 2.6.27.39 where the wireless card is supported by the kernel directly. How far can I be from the AP outdoors and still have a strong connection? I know wireless in general isn't unstable because I have an ad-hoc connection between my laptop and the router using Alvarion pcmcia wireless cards. My RealTek card is branded as a Zonet ZEW1300B I believe and linux identifies it as a RTL8180L chipset card. I'm beginning to wonder if I had a pcmcia orinoco card that could hook to my existing antenna if that would work better than the RealTek card? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
