<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In a previous post, i was hoping to get some input
as to what the rest of you were seeing in the wild as to how signal strength
varies from day to day. For example, Friday morning, i couldnt go
anywhere. Signal strength appeared normal, but would not do anything,
Aparently was dropping most packets.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By Friday evening, was working normal. And
over the weekend, worked better than ever, with signal strength higher than
normal, and decent bandwidth (3 times avg). Then again this morning
(monday) is back to useless, with avg signal strength, but extreme packet loss
(68% loss on a ping test this morning). </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Friday morning i reset the computer that is my
router (reboot hostap machine), this didnt do any good at the time. Has
anyone else seen this kind of fluctuation? (does anyone else care?)

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On topic question... is there a way to poll the
card for the current image in use? The reason i ask is: I wonder if the
card is resetting itself then reverting back to original image (i ram upload
1.5.6 over 1.4.9), perhaps this has something to do with it. Also,
how "accurate" is the signal strength value returned with iwconfig? As
mine always seems to return the same value most every time... (32/92) <-- how
would one interpret this value? 32 of 92 possible (or 1/3, roughly,
signal?) </FONT></DIV>
