Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I upgrade to Fedora Core 6. I made some other tests. Old version (r1605)
doesn't compile anymore, so I stuck with useless wireless interface. If I
go really close to the access point (1-2m) there are more probabilities to
get associated and successfully get an IP, but I get 70-80% packet loss.
If I go over 4m from the access point I cannot connect anymore.
athstats show this:
{{{
587 tx management frames
294 tx failed due to too many retries
2444 long on-chip tx retries
538 tx frames with no ack marked
844 tx frames with short preamble

after 15 minutes of activity.
The Thinkpad Z60t seem to come with two antennas, one placed in the upper
side of the display frame. If I "cover" the antenna (i.e. placing hand)
the signal level drop from -31 to -42, and athstats shows one more
"switched default/rx antenna".
Regdomain is 98, and if I try to set countrycode to any value (tried
Denmark, Germany, Italy, UK) I get the well-known error from hal:
{{{
unable to collect channel list from hal; regdomain likely 98 country code
380
}}}
