Sorry, I don't see how firmware can affect sensitivity. I've
been involved in writing firmware for RF data communications
stuff for a long time, and I've certainly never been able to
affect sensitivity.
I can say that I was really struggling to get a reliable wireless
I'm talking about the USB wireless adapter (I don't think I can
connect the antenna to my laptop directly),
not the passphrase key...
Ah. I've got a Hawking HWUG1 USB WiFi adapter that works fine
with Gentoo (I had to download driver source from somewhere).
It's got an R-SMA

I think it depends a lot on the maturity of the drivers. As I
said, my Netgear PCI card uses the madwifi

Hi,
I have a Gentoo-powered Macbook. I would like to improve its wireless
receiver capabilities, to be able to connect to weak wireless networks
for example in my laboratory (I would have legal access to the

I've had very good luck with home-made biquad reflectors:

I've build both a single and a double biquad using methods
similar to the first page. I use thin-walled brass tubing
instead of copper.
Thanks, I'll
