A difference was found in the code used to index the OFDM power tables. When the Linux driver was changed, my unit works at a much greater range than before. I think this fixes Bugzilla #12380 and has been tested by at least two other users. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Tested-by: Martín Ernesto Barreyro Cc: Stable Signed-off-by: John W.
