Here are 3 questions about your posts, Dimitrios: * Could you explain why you think these functions are of interest?
* Do these functions compute the signal quality values which can be displayed, e.g., with nm-tools? * Do the computed values affect the actual ability to receive or transmit, or are they just being displayed and used for deciding whether to attempt to connect to a network? The significance of the last question is, of course, that the connection itself is bad, not (just) the signal quality numbers. If you compute the numbers using a different formula, you'd possibly get something different, while the actual connection quality doesn't change, of course. Again: the connection itself is unreliable, it's not a matter of numbers. Here's an idea: Even with 2.6.22+ipw the connection quality is slightly worse when on battery power (though still far better than 2.6.44+iwl). Could this be a power management issue? -Dirk P.S.: Currently, the way I use WiFi is to boot using the 2.6.22 kernel in the grub menu (I get 100 error messages, but it seems to work ok). This version still has ipw support, I modprobe ipw, and the connectivity is good. With 2.6.24+iwl, my tiny iPod has more reliable WiFi connection than my linux pc. -- iwl3945 sometimes does not detect ESSIDs, whereas ipw3945 works perfectly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177624 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
