I guess a limiting factor will be the NetworkManager scan spread randomly across ten laptops. During a scan packets are dropped, for about 3s. I also wonder if the ad-hoc master will shift to another laptop. You might be able to achieve more if scans were turned off. > What was the size of the group? > > Any sources of interference? Tabitha, that reminds me, a limited but not entirely useless measure of the interference heard by a laptop can be obtained using iwconfig during a ping. Look at "Signal level" and "Noise level". Here I have a noise level of -94 dBm, and with laptops side by side a signal level of -6 dBm and -13 dBm. Also have a look at my Signal Strength Meter, a python script that can be run from Terminal to rapidly display these values. http://www.linux.org.au/~quozl/ssm/ -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
