I'm not a guru setting up MadDriver, but at the physical layer I see |
2 |
that you have: |
3 |
|
4 |
Link Quality=16/94 |
5 |
|
6 |
|
7 |
This is _very_ low, normally I won't expect success in data |
8 |
transmission with a quality below 50%. |
9 |
|
10 |
I also see that you are connected at 36 MBps, this can be due to the |
11 |
low quality in signal also. |
12 |
|
13 |
|
14 |
I recommend you disabling the WEP encryption until you set up the |
15 |
connection correctly, just to make things easier. Then you can also |
16 |
try to: |
17 |
- Fix the transmit rate in Atheros config file: try first to fix it to |
18 |
11M and then check the link quality. Keep increasing it until you see |
19 |
that the quality decreases |
20 |
- If you're using dhcp ensure that you've obtained a valid ip from the server |
21 |
|
22 |
That's all :) |
23 |
Hope it helps you |
24 |
|

cheers |
