Hi,
I-m writing from a live ubuntu 8.04 right now. At work I have a Cisco
Aironet 1200 (nice AP) and moving my dell latitude D630 laptop beside
it shows the same figures. Signal quality of around 50 % in the best
case.
Here is what I get with direct view of the AP :
Cell 02 - Address: 00:0E:D7:78:C3:60
ESSID:"eduroam-web"
Mode:Master
Channel:6
Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
Quality=50/100 Signal level=-58 dBm
Encryption key:off
Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s
11 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s
48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s

Yes. That's why I don't like linux at all.

I do believe the same too. But I get lost because I'm not very used to
wireless stuff.
