I normally have my laptop at the edge of where I have reception, and it always showed around 60%. Now it shows around 20-25%, which is much closer to the truth. The range on which I could get a connection did not change. So, basically, what you experience here, is only cosmetic. Best regards, Jeroen Besse (T40 with Atheros card)
