I'm sending this email without cable, Thanks!
I'm not sure to understand what happened...
I moved my computer by ~1 meter and it worked.
Then noise still equals the signal but they are now at -47 dBm.
Also the connection seems to be unstable and sometimes the iwlist
comment doesn't find anything.
Other people in the same room receive the wifi with 5/5 quality.
Could this be a hardware problem?
Thanks again

Do you see your access point, if you do a scan?
# iwlist eth1 scan
Yes! I got:
# /sbin/iwlist eth1 scan
eth1 Scan completed :

Your "Signal level" is equal your "Noise level"? Which is not really
good.
Can you move closer to your access point?

If yes, for example use "system-config-network" to configure your
wireless settings.
So I set the mode to Master and channel to 9 but then I get:
"Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument."
"Définition des informations IP pour eth1. échoué. Aucun lien n'a été
trouvé. Vérifier le câble ?"
Do you know why?
Please try
Mode: Managed (!)
Network name (SSID): Specified: observatoire-portail
Key "empty"
# ifup eth1
What shows
# iwconfig eth1

Thanks a lot.
