Thanks for all the input

No of course I meant a signal of 81dbm not transmit power :-(

Yes I know that SR5 should have a internal gain but this really does not 
work in my case :-(
I have 2x 27dbi grid antennas in 5.8GHz ...
And I have the 1. cards that came on the market, that could be the other 
problem :-(
UBNT has changed my cards because they modified the table but it could be
that the versions I have still have a problem :-(
Wrap is not problem. I have new versions of wrap and also alix boards ...
I use CM9 because the output of SR5 was the same ...
But one of this days I will change CM9 to SR5 to test again ...

Does anyone have experience with XR5 and madwifi?
I cannot buy here anymore SR5 only XR5...

Thanks for the pointer to ANI. I had no idea of that even the original 
thread/problem
was raised by me in 2006 (BIG problem) :-(

I have actually 0.9.4 (from voyage-0.5.2) in production but could not 
find that sysctl was inclcuded in this realease
even the thread stated that it will be included in 0.9.4 tree..
Which is the current "valid" patch to include in 0.9.4? Is it 
http://madwifi-project.org/ticket/705?

Thanks a lot

Beat
