debcamp. first there was one linksys, & my wifi worked fine. after the
admins set up lots of nice APs (kudos!) my wifi connection become flakey
& slow & dropping out & everything – thanks atheros &
ath5k!
before I went completely mad I tried plan B: going back to the good old
(non-free) madwifi. so I grabbed the last madwifi-source source package from
stable, the latest tarball (madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz) from the madwifi page, built a new
madwifi-source package, & then a module package against a kernel source
of 2.6.31-rc2-git7 (which I happened to have lying around).
looks much better. ssh'ing home to austria is a bit slow but in general the
connection looks stable. & I'm still sitting outside :)
update 1:
or not. /me->mad. – let's try the next kernel :/
update 2:
2.6.31-rc3 & ath5k look better. at least inside the venue. let's try
& go out.
update 3;
works in the upper talk room (more more than less); outside: more less than
more.
