If it's relevant I'll read it, have a link to the specifications because a serach of "b43 device specifications" does not reveal any specifications?
You're making a fool out of yourself.
I am ???
You have absolutely no clue about the meaning of the values in the sprom.
You're probably correct because I can't find any concrete description of the data other than what you claim it to possibly be.
In my dealings with Broadcom, I'm told that receiver gain and transmit power are controllable but they do not release the information so I have to go by the information I can find which is minimal and it's accuracy is questionable.
But please try to increase the value by 1 or 2 dBi. You will see what happens. But please don't explain the result with any weird clipping theory or whatever.
I'd love to test changes however the program is broken and this is what I have been writing about, if you have already performed similar test why not publish the results of your tests?
Now, can we get back to the discussion of fixing the application?
