Comment 138 for bug 182716

Actually, they're in about the same spot. One is a floor below the AP and the other is a floor above. The one I'm having trouble with is below and actually indicates a higher signal strength, which is probably right.
I think the other APs around all use 6 or maybe 9, and I'm on 11. Furthermore, this one's in the basement, where you can't detect any AP except the one above it. Same with my 4312 laptop down here. The one upstairs should really be the one suffering from outside interference.
I just did a fresh install, no modifications. I installed b43-fwcutter from deb, cut the firmware for b43 and b43legacy (is that hardware dependent or can I swap those files between computers?) to /lib/firmware, copied in the modified sprom. I restarted and tried to connect with network manager. Still the authenticate timeouts. I tried manual settings and it did the same thing.
