The WLM54AG card has a max txpower of 20dBm and the WLM54AG-23 has a max txpower of 23dBm. http://www.compex.com.sg/home/Datasheet/New_WLM_DSv1.9.pdf The problem is that both cards produces the same RSSI value on my remote station a couple of km's away from my test setup. If I do the same test with the same cards under Ubuntu 6.06 then the WLM54AG-23 produces a bigger RSSI value on my remote station than the WLM54AG card. Under FreeBSD, with a country code of 710 the max txpower can only go up-to 32 (16dbm) on both cards and vith a country code of 0 they can go upto 36 (18dbm). Under Ubunti I can set the max txpower of the WLM54AG card to 20dBm and the WLM54AG-23 card to 23dBm. I'm not to sure if this is the right place to post my problem, or whether I should rather try the MadWifi list or the manufacturer of the cards itself, but it feels like it's related to FreeBSD.

HELP!!! > > ceco FreeBSD offers a simple boot manager that is placed in the first sector of your hard disk. It is called boot0. You can install easily: - boot FreeBSD - allow to write the first sector: sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 - install the boot manager boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0 - reboot Now you should be able to choose between the operating systems. You can also boot from the FreeBSD CD (disc1) and choose "Fixit" -> "CD/CDROM". In this case you can skip the second step.

There was a hal bug I recently fixed where the _reported_ max tx power obtained from the calibration data was wrong. Note that is REPORTED, the actual max tx power cap was correct and you should see that measuring with a SA or power meter. > > I'm not to sure if this is the right place to post my problem, or whether I > should rather try the MadWifi list or the manufacturer of the cards itself, > but it feels like it's related to FreeBSD. It is unclear what is going on but there have been no hal changes that would affect operation and/or cause operation to be different between madwifi and freebsd. I suggest you measure things properly and then come back to me. FWIW I've recently done extensive testing of tx power control for ath devices with a variety of high power cards. I am reasonably confident the hal (and driver) are doing the right things. There appear, however, to be issues with at least one vendor's cards. I've yet to reach closure on the problem so cannot comment more--but in the end I was forced to switch vendors because my project couldn't wait.

Using FreeBSD 6.2 and an Orinoco Gold Classic. This combination works fine with Kismet if I disable channel hopping. If I enable hopping it only sees a few packets than stops hearing. If I set the defaultchannels to multiple instances of the same channel as the initial channel, it will still work if channelhop=true. The suggests the problem only occurs if thechannel number is changed. The card works fine for regular wireless access. The same card on a slightly newer laptop running Ubuntu Linux Breezy works properly, including channel hopping. -- Chuck Forsberg caf@omen.com www.omen.com 503-614-0430 Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 FAX 629-0665 From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Feb 16 23:04:07 2007 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5EED916A400 for ; Fri, 16 Feb 2007 23:04:07 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from ceco108@gimail.af.mil) Received: from athena.hrdnet.com (athena.hrdnet.com [208.194.177.119]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1929513C478 for ; Fri, 16 Feb 2007 23:04:06 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from ceco108@gimail.af.mil) Received: from gimail.af.mil (unverified [208.194.177.29]) by athena.hrdnet.com (Vircom SMTPRS 4.35.480.0) with ESMTP id for ; Fri, 16 Feb 2007 18:02:55 -0500 X-Modus-BlackList: 208.194.177.29=OK;ceco108@gimail.af.mil=OK X-Modus-Trusted: 208.194.177.29=YES Message-ID: <951a4446d5024380850458b8ac336fe6.ceco108@gimail.af.mil> X-EM-APIVersion: 2, 0, 0, 8 X-Priority: 3 (Normal) From: "Cecil" To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 17:48:32 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Subject: (no subject) X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 23:04:07 -0000 Thanks for all the comments but I must not be doing something right!

Set the second partition as DOS fat ->> install Win2K in the Dos > partition ->> then doing the install I think it formats the DOS > partition to fat32 and overwrites the MBR for FreeBSD I've always had success putting a DOS 'partition' as the first slice (ad0s1). In the old days (FreeBSD 2 & 3) this helped establish the drive geometry for FreeBSD, and while this is no longer relevant, it assures that any version of DOS/win will see itself as on 'drive C:' I've not used w2k (yet, but suspect I'll have to soon to upgrade my Thinkpad T23's BIOS), but have installed various DOS versions and Win98 in the first slice of several boxes without problems. Since (I gather) you still have the freedom to experiment, I suggest trying that. You're probably lucky if w2k will use fat32 rather than NTFS, in terms of being able to access it read/write from FreeBSD. Another option is using a DOS 'extended' partition as say slice 2, formatted fat32, for common access from win and FreeBSD (and/or Linux ..) > 3. The Win2K come up without giving a choice of OS to boot into ->> > copy boot0 from the FreeBSD disk onto the Win2K C:\bootFBSD and > modify the B boot.ini file ->> I reboot and there is recgnized OS to > be found Do you really need to use w2k's boot.ini? If not, you may do better just using FreeBSD's boot0 for the MBR, and choosing FreeBSD or w2k booting from there. Again, having the DOS slice first should help. As you say, win(anything) will clobber the MBR, so I usually install it first after fdisk slicing; then installing FreeBSD and writing the MBR with the FreeBSD boot manager (boot0) sorts that out. Or, as you note, you can sort it out later by booting off the install CDROM. > and I have followed these step after that > > FreeBSD offers a simple boot manager that is placed in the first sector > of your hard disk.
