Comment 149 for bug 401126

I am right beside the AP and the signal reading between 60-70 % .. Other identical laptops on windows reading full AP power. If I am little away from AP the connection keeps going down and up. I have seen some forum post here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1353863 suggesting using a txpower option to set the reception power but It did not work for me.
