[ale] IPW2200 poor reception

[Dow_Hurst]

I have that same type wifi in my compal efl30 (finally learned what to call this laptop).  I think you should
check your powersaving settings for the wifi.  You might be turning down your transmit power quite
a bit in battery mode.  Do you have such settings available for changing under proc?  Are you
running the RHEL3 or 4 that came on the laptop?
Thanks,
Dow

I've got some odd behavior with the IPW 2200 built into my Dell Precision
M60.  Sitting in my comfy chair in the living room, about 40' from the AP, i
intermittantly lose reception -- I sometimes have to hold the laptop in the
air to get reconnected.  In the same place, running Windows, I have no
problem.  I'm running drivers version 1.0.6 and firmware 2.3 with a 2.6.12
kernel.  Anybody have any suggestions?
