[Madwifi-devel] [madwifi] stronger signal needed for assoc?

[Dennis B. <den...@go...>]

Hi!

I am experiencing the following:

If I connect a client to an AP (all devices running madwifi) and then 
walk away from the AP, the signal slowly gets worse until it finally 
looses connection. All ok up to this point :)

If then at the moment, when it looses connection I move again towards 
the AP to a place, where I still had a signal, I won't regain an 
association. Only if I move a lot more towards the AP(let's say some 
hundred meters) will I regain an association.

Any idea, why this can be observed? Does madwifi need higher signal 
strength for association than for data transfer after an association has 
already been done?

Best regards,
Dennis
