WLAN authentication modes: open sharedkey wpa-psk wpa-eap WLAN encryption modes: WEP40 WEP104 TKIP CCMP Memory Range: 0xfe3fc000-0xfe3fffff (rw,non-prefetchable) SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company" I hope that any details that may be useful are listed here: Incidentally, the bluetooth function is nowhere to be seen!! But I guess that this is a whole different (driver) issue? Is the antenna switch introducing this massive loss? Can this antenna switch be bypassed via software or is it purely a hardware function? One possible cause that comes to mind is the Antenna Diversity? Any suggestions on how to increase the range for the broadcom will be appreciated. I have to increase the distance to over 20m be fore the other wlan connection starts complaining.
