</I>><i> I have been discussing this with Larry Finger (one of the realtek main
</I>><i> developers) in "wireless <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">linux-wireless at vger.kernel.org</A>>" ML and this
</I>><i> Larry Finger what he said:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> "That patch keeps your device from running forever at a maximum of 1
</I>><i> Mbps by adjusting the initial gain of the RX amplifier. You may
</I>><i> reverse it if you want so that you can detect more APs when you scan;
</I>><i> however, most people prefer to get better performance from the device.
</I>><i> That patch will not be reversed."
</I>
perhaps it can be made into a module option?
