Hello,
Something strange has happened since I installed a Atheros miniPCI
device in my laptop. In the past when I 'wicontrol -i ath0 -l', I
would get correct info, including the quality/signal/noise info.
But now with the miniPCI device I get the following:
ap[0]:
netname (SSID): [ My_SSID_1 ]
BSSID: [ 00:2f:68:60:ca:5c ]
Channel: [ 1 ]
Quality/Signal/Noise [signal]: [ 0 / 0 / 0 ]
[dBm]: [ 0 / -149 / -149 ]
BSS Beacon Interval [msec]: [ 250 ]
Capinfo: [ ESS WEP ]
DataRate [Mbps]: [ 11 ]
ap[1]:
netname (SSID): [ My_Neighbors_SSID ]
BSSID: [ 00:11:95:07:be:ec ]
Channel: [ 6 ]
Quality/Signal/Noise [signal]: [ 0 / 0 / 0 ]
[dBm]: [ 0 / -149 / -149 ]
BSS Beacon Interval [msec]: [ 100 ]
Capinfo: [ ESS ]
ap[2]:
netname (SSID): [ My_SSID_2 ]
BSSID: [ 00:06:23:b4:48:e9 ]
Channel: [ 11 ]
Quality/Signal/Noise [signal]: [ 0 / 0 / 0 ]
[dBm]: [ 0 / -149 / -149 ]
BSS Beacon Interval [msec]: [ 250 ]
Capinfo: [ ESS WEP ]
DataRate [Mbps]: [ 11 ]
If I place my Atheros pccard in the slot I still get no signal info...
although I was getting it just before I installed the miniPCI device.
Has anyone seen anything like this, and is there a fix? How did I break
it?
I suppose I'll take the miniPCI out and try just the pccard... but I
would prefer to use the miniPCI AND get the signal info.
Thanks for your help,

Eric
