Hi, Is there a way to increase the scanning sensitivity with the Atheros driver? I have an Apple computer and that machine came with Windows and both are able to scan about 3 to 10 APs per active scan. Specialized applications are able to pick-up about 30 beacons. For a long time I though that the adapter was only able to scan the most powerful AP in range, the one on the floor above, until I set my Apple machine to act as a WEP AP and I was able to pick it up along the other network. Right now it's using the default settings, I played around with the roaming settings, alas to no avail. Suggestions?
