The driver seems to recognize the card correctly but for some reasons it wouldn't work. After a while I came up with a "solution", the problem was in the range. It is extremely short! 6 meters at most in line of sight! I tried with a 15db gain antenna without success.. and I'm wondering if there's a way to increase the txpower of this card (I tried using ifconfig txpower) Can anyone suggest me a board/chipset with higher transmit power? Thanks in advance. Andrea.
