| I use it as my only router and there are the following computer on it:
| *laptop(had gentoo until I lost the data) with pentium M laptop with
| ipw2200 card
| *windows laptop with a 3com card
| *ubuntu laptop with rt2500 card:
| wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"my_essid"
|           Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.442 GHz  Access Point:
00:22:15:XX:XX:XX
|           Bit Rate=11 Mb/s   Tx-Power=27 dBm

| *sempron(gentoo) Desktop with RT2561 card:
| wlan1     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"my_essid"
|           Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.442 GHz  Access Point:
00:22:15:XX:XX:XX
|           Bit Rate=36 Mb/s   Tx-Power=11 dBm
|           Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2352 B
|           Encryption key:off
|           Power Management:off

Right but we're working on GTA02 if we disable 80211 power saving.  I
googled around briefly after iwconfig wlan0 power didn't work on this
iwl4965 laptop and it seems there is patchy support for it.

It can be what's happening is the other two things that are working are
doing so without power save mode as well, and then we don't know if the
problem is at your "AP" / router box or the GTA02.
