Thread Starter 
okay so i got an atheros 5006xs today and installed the drivers and everything

i look at advanced and im gettin 30mW? not even 40whatever, i even tried turning off power management

are there any other utilities or drivers i should use besides standard gigabyte util that allow the card to goto full 100mW???

by the way- if u have gigabyte brand make sure u read which wire is for main and aux cause with mine i had to switch them as in main is now farther away connection

There's a general school of consensus that the mini-PCI slot won't ever get up to 100mW.

"Radio cards are designed for OEM and embedded applications only NOT FOR LAPTOP!"

I am going to sell my card because... Its a POS. Lack of driver support, Cant get above 30mW, "non-existent" Power saveing features

It dosent provide that much over the intel one except slightly better drivers.
The one thing i found good with it... Slight signal Increase.
