Hello Very bad news (or good news depends of the view). The assoiciation limitation of about -74dbm is really a madwifi or hal restriction. (one more restriction apart from the output power ...)
I have done tests with mikrotik and there you can associate with -92dbm. YES, it's not a joke. With mikrotik you get the specs of the SR5 card. You get [EMAIL PROTECTED] and about 13Mbps throughput at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and about 2Mbps throughput. I'm not selling nor using mikrotik but I think again it's a very sad story. I get with madwifi at -73dbm the throughput of 2Mbps and cannot associate if signal is lower than -75dbm. So you get 18dbm more sensity with mikrotik. Every 6dbm dobles the distance so we go 6 times farther ... In my case: Instead of 4.4km I go to 30 km ... Ok there is the output limit but can anybody tell me WHY there is the receiver sens limit ?? Or do I have missed something?? Any ideas what we can do apart from buying a atheros licence and develop an own driver and release it for 1US$ ??? Beat -- Echte DSL-Flatrate dauerhaft für 0,- Euro*!
