It really looks like this has finally solved the sensitivity issue. I had
tried the first patch before 0.9.4 which disabled totally the ANI and it
caused big problems in the environment I'm operating in. I have over 30
users connected 24x7 in a rural area, coverage from the access point is
approx max radius of 1Km. When I turned off ANI totally my connections
began dropping in and out like fireflys as the noise floor changed and the
signal quality varied. With this new fix I am seeing much improved
performance. I maintain 11Mb/s to stations with S/N @ -81dBm where
previously these stations would be connected at 1Mb/s. Great work, a real
tangible and practical improvement. Thank you.
