Hi Jordi, |

Sorry for the late response. My madwifi-driver version is 0.1_pre20050224. |

Far from the access point, link quality is 16/94 or -79dBm. |
12 |
|
13 |
Much closer to the link quality is 34/94 or -61dBm. |
14 |
|
15 |
In neither of these locations a ping to the router will work. I always |
16 |
get "network unreachable" |
17 |
|
18 |
Also, the boot hangs for quite a while at the dhcp stage. |

Thanks! Rob. |
