I thought it was at least 6:06 ?! No telling. The meta-point about your firmware may bite you is worth repeating however many times. It ain't your card ... it's your particular jello in your card. > > >: > - On the Lucent cards, you don't get a signal strength indication. > >Lucent cards are the only ones I've seen that have good signal >indication. However, it is in wicontrol -C only, not in the normal >wicontrol output. wicontrol -C was intended for ad hoc mode. Which one could argue that the IEEE has more or less made defunct. ... but I digress. wicontrol has Comms quality/signal/noise which works fine in managed mode. Else wscan would have a hard time ... It doesn't work in any ad-hoc mode. Jim Binkley (i think) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
