Thank you for your clear instructions. I followed your guide an my basic WLAN works right now. However I need to switch between multiple Access Points with my wlan card. Therefore I want to adjust the sensitivity value to optimize the timing for switching the AP. In this context I miss certain functionalities using this driver:
The command "sudo iwconfig eth2 sens -60" does not seem to be supported and results in the following output:
inc@os-22:~/robotics/scripts$ iwconfig eth2 sens -60 Error for wireless request "Set Sensitivity" (8B08) : SET failed on device eth2 ; Operation not permitted.
When I use the command "iwconfig eth2" (eth2 is the wlan) I miss informations such as "Signal level" and "Link Quality" which are usually displayed:
inc@os-22:/usr/src/b43b1-6.30.223.141/src$ iwconfig eth2 eth2 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"inc-5G" Mode:Managed Frequency:5.18 GHz Access Point: B0:C7:45:22:86:D8 Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off
Interestingly the command "iwlist et2 scan" shows "Quality=51/70" and "Signal level=-59 dBm"
So my questions are:
Is this missing functionality a general issue of this driver or is more likely to be a problem with my wlan card?
Do you have any suggestions to make this functions work?
