> When I use the madwifi driver (madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz)
This version is outdated, you should follow the instructions on #1192
instead to get a more up to date version of MadWifi for your system.
> on my eee 900 the wifi range and link quality are incredibly weak.
Sitting three feet away from my router iwconfig reports the link quality
to be around 40/70.
The link quality reading is no fraction in MadWifi. The first value is
RSSI, the second is the noise level. It seems that you're in a very noisy
environment, but still 40 is a good value. See also [wiki:UserDocs/RSSI]
for more information.
