Re: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200-BG
Thanks, however the last link doesn't work for me.
Yes, I was looking for the software/client, but Fujitsu only offered a small 800KB file, that I'm guessing is the driver alone and must be already installed. Their listing is also wrong marking it as a graphics adapter half of the time.
Also, could you tell me what signal strength is minimal for this adapter to work reasonably? An approximate order of magnitude, obviously. |

1 edit | The link was for a beta set of drivers. It has probably been pulled. Sorry.
Here is a link to the Intel set of software:

Should give you driver and client software.
On sensitivity, the card is rated to -85db I believe. I have found in practice that at that signal level the throughput would be very slow and not very usable. I have excellent results with a -50 to -65db signal.

Gig Harbor, WA | Is there a way to set the sensitivity on the Intel PRO/Wireless card that you mentioned? |

| No.
Sensitivity of a card is a measurment of how sensitive or good the receiver is. The higher the negative number, the better the receiver. Why would you want to adjust this?
There is a way, in most cases, to set the output of the transmitter. Setting the power levels lower would mean that your signal would not go as far and might be good if you wanted to limit your coverage.
