rx/tx antenna for fon2100 in WiFi Pineapples Mark I, II, III Posted August 29, 2009 hi all, may be it was mentioned here before i'm not sure, BUT i noticed very unstable signal strength with fon2100+jasager1.0 wavemon 'link quality' bar was fluctuating 15 - 115 the reason was that the madwifi driver is constantly switching antennas and since fon2100 has got only one, 50% of the time it is 'off'. the solution are these commands: sysctl -w dev.wifi0.rxantenna=1 sysctl -w dev.wifi0.txantenna=1 sysctl -w dev.ath.diversity=0 now link quality is much better. perhaps there are more parameters to tweak, any clues? would be great to extend the range of these little bastards.

hi all, may be it was mentioned here before i'm not sure, BUT
i noticed very unstable signal strength with fon2100+jasager1.0
wavemon 'link quality' bar was fluctuating 15 - 115
the reason was that the madwifi driver is constantly switching antennas and since fon2100 has got only one, 50% of the time it is 'off'.
the solution are these commands:
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.rxantenna=1
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.txantenna=1
sysctl -w dev.ath.diversity=0
now link quality is much better.
perhaps there are more parameters to tweak, any clues?
