[Madwifi-users] Works great with NetGear WRT54G, not with SMC 7004 AWBR

[Steve K. <sh...@mm...>]

Hey all --

I've written periodically to this list with problems with my Thinkpad 
t40 and madwifi; I was having the constant reassociation problem and 
have been suck using the Linuxant driverloader (which worked great). 
However, I just swapped out my old SMC 7004 AWBR wireless router for a 
NetGear WRT54G router, and all my problems with madwifi have been 
solved.  A few questions:

- Madwifi seems to take much longer to get a DHCP address from the 
WRT54G than the Linuxant driverloader does.  Any reason why?

- According to wavemon, the "link quality" averages about 20 out of 94. 
  The AP is about 10 feet from me -- does this number actually mean 
anything?

thanks for all the help!

cheers,
-steve
