Many thanks to Adrian Chadd who really helped ironing= out all my questions! My only problem so far that I've noticed is that when I do: ifconfig wlan0= txpower 0=3B this does not turn off power to the wireless as it's suppose = to and rather I have to bring down the interface manually to shut it down h= ence whenever I need to start it up again I have to reconfigure the interfa= ce. >From my observation it looks like changing the txpower rate using ifconfig = has little to no effect controlling this adapter. My question is that=2C could it be because I have compiled the kernel with = the following modifications as suggested by Adrian Chadd to take advantage = of Max 3x antenna transmit power that I am having this problem? Edit sys/dev/ath/ath_hal/ar5416/ar5416.h: #define AR5416_DEFAULT_RXCHAINMASK 7 #define AR5416_DEFAULT_TXCHAINMASK 7 Does anyone else have this symptom with their SR71-A (AR5416)? Many thanks in advance=3B Regards=2C Shant K. =
