hello,

what transmit power does have the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG (and what
2915ABG)?
I can't find it on the inet.
Sometimes there is mentioned 20 dbm (100mW), sometimes 50mW and some
other values. Maybe the tx-power of the card can be changed somehow ?

It's programmable. Output power limits may be region-specific (i.e.
select the wrong country when installing drivers, and the power may be
low).

Thanks for your answer.

Programmable means changed by common drivers or set with special tool?
What's the global limit - 100mW?

100mw is the maximum. Can be set in the properties of the device.
Unfortunately, the transmit power always resets itself to about 40mw
when you restart the computer, log on, etc.

hmm..
that sux :/
"resets itself to about 40mw"
"about" means it's written in dbm (16dbm) or it's not written and
you're guessing ?

I have HP nx6110 and I heard that Intel wi-fi is the only card that I
can install :/

Guessing. It is supposed (according to the documentation by Intel) to
default to the maximum transmit strength. Just by looking at the graph
in Network Stumbler when I reset the strength I estimate it was at about
40% of maximum.
