Is anyone else seeing the same issue?
I have a Thinkpad T40p with the built-in wireless (It is Atheros chipset).
Using GenMAC 1.6 with XWLAN 2.14, it has been pretty much flawless.
(Warp 4.52 with FP5)
I tried GenMAC 1.7 a while ago, it was worse so I switched back. I
recently upgraded to GenMAC 2.0 with XWLAN 3.0 and it shows the same
behaviour. MUCH worse!
Here's the symptoms:
- The reception shows typically 5-10% weaker signal, for whatever
reason. (I'm in a small apartment, so it's easy to be repeatable to be
in the same physical location).
I think the numbers shown by previous versions were wrong. 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.
