(ath vs ndis). > - The signal is much stronger when I use the ndis drivers. Why ? Most likely they are reporting a value with different units. It's quite likely that ndis(4) isn't mapping the values correctly to what the 80211 framework expects. It's also possible they are programming the card differently and thus the signal is actually different, but that seems less likely. Unless ath is actually performing worse, I'd suggest ignoring it. > 2) The wpa-psk works perfectly when I use the ath(4) driver and it doesn'= t work > with the ndis(4) drivers. When I use wpa_supplicant I get this (from d= mesg) ndis(4) doesn't support the features required for wpa_supplicant to work. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
