[MLB-WIRELESS] Cabletron Cards - Laptop - Debian - Range

[Jason Clarke]

Shane,

Actually, this is a very good point.

Under linux, there is no USB / IR / parallel or even display except CLI.

Perhaps this is something to do with it?

I will look into it further by uninstalling IR under 2k or getting it
working under Debian.

Thanks for the reply.

jason is there any onboard hardware which is NOT working under Debian?
Perhaps when Windows enables something onboard (like Infra-Red or
Soundcard) it is causing an amount of Interference?

This is like, weird..

Got a Dell Inspiron 4100 with one of the $50 cards in it.

I found that at my desk with Win2k I could baaaaareeeellllyyyy get a
signal
from an AP around the area. Maybe a signal of 10-12 in Netstumbler.

I'm dual booting with Debian, 2.4.18 and found that when I cat
/proc/net/wireless the signal / noise ration is more like 15-20.

Is this just the measurements of the various OS's comming into play, or
is
there some other explanation??

Regards,
