Guys, if you ever need to boost your WLAN signal on a Linux machine, you may find this interesting. For ease of use, put in /usr/bin, though it can be executed without it.

 

I wrote that today after my router died, it's a small shell script (38 lines) that boosts the transciever's Tx-Power from 20 dBm to 30 dBm. I needed that extra bit of signal power in order to maintain a stable WLAN connection to my neighbour's router.

 

I used it on a Ralink RT2870 USB wireless dongle, works as well for others too. Don't know if it works for WLAN cards, it should though.

 

Oh yeah, this will also additionally heat up the wireless transciever so an occassional Tx-Power reset or powering down the radio is advisable, I included the reset option.

 

Here's the code:

 

 

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
   echo "No command specified.
Please use 'signal-booster --help' for information on how to use this utility."
fi
if [ "$1" == "--boost" ]; then
   echo "Boosting wireless signal."
   ifconfig wlan0 down
   iw reg set BO
   ifconfig wlan0 up
   iwconfig wlan0 channel 13
   iwconfig wlan0 txpower 30
fi
if [ "$1" == "--reset" ]; then
   echo "Resetting wireless to default values."
   ifconfig wlan0 down
   iw reg set BO
   ifconfig wlan0 up
   iwconfig wlan0 channel 13
   iwconfig wlan0 txpower 20
fi
if [ "$1" == "--info" ]; then
   echo "Information about wireless device configuration."
   iwconfig
fi
if [ "$1" == "--help" ]; then
   echo "Help for signal-booster utility.

Usage:
    signal-booster [option]

Options:

    --boost        : Boosts Tx-Power from 20 dBm to 30 dBm
    --reset        : Resets Tx-Power back from 30 dBm to 20 dBm
    --info        : Displays information about your current wireless device configuration
    --help        : Prints this help and exits"
fi

The DA3 teaser trailer was pretty nice. I hope that their "actual gameplay footage" was taken from actual in-game scenes and not just pre-rendered though.

 

Also, was that Morrigan at the end? Her voice has changed so I'm not sure. And I just knew Cassandra would be a companion. Also, Varric dyed his hair. :P
