2011-01-21 14:49:26 Eric Appleman summary iwl3945 does pick up weaker signals like ndiswrapper does iwl3945 does not handle weaker signals as well as ndiswrapper does
2011-01-21 14:50:01 Eric Appleman description I have found that iwl3945 will not offer weak signals for connection whereas ndiswrapper with the appropriate 3945ABG driver will offer signals as weak as 1% in Wicd and Network Manager. I figure that this shouldn't be a proper behavior since the signals that ndiswrapper picks up are already 10% weaker than those of iwl3945.
