Way too low :( also country setting is 0 ????
Seems to be replication ar variant of ticket #936.
In there it's mentioned to be working as of subversion release r2695 but
he was using different chip. This was 4 months ago. Wouldn't this be
included yet in the last version, 9.3.3 ?
Forgive my questions, never tought I had to go this deep into my wifi
setup to get it all working (as it was in XP). But I'm still having fun
... :)
Any pointers on how to improve and if the #936 was solved in the main
9.3.3 release ?
Thanks.
