141 | | A few interesting things for wireless experimenters in general |
142 | | * Some cards do allow you to set certain transmit power values even though they are not supported by the hardware. E.g Cisco Aironet 350 series card supports 1, 5, 20, 30, 50 and 100 mW transmit powers. However, it does not complain even if the transmit power is set to other values. We believe that it is simply rounded off to the next allowable power level |
143 | | * Not all cards allow you to change the channel. On the Cisco Aironet 350 series card, in order to change the channel, you have to create a new essid and then switch to the new channel. |
