DWL-900AP+ and soft v3.06

I and some my colleagues noticed the soft v3.06 and 3.07 both work badly
with an external antenna. The range with internal antenna is much better. We
made the experiment and downgrade AP to v3.02 and all seems to be OK. So we
suspect a softawre bug. Has anybody met the problem?

kind regards,

I have the same problem.

There are around 10% dropped send packets with v3.02, but with v3.07/v3.06
they jump to 20-25%.
I guess transmitting power has been reduced in new firmware.

I don't use internal antena so I wouldn't know anything about this.

With so much dropped packets how does the network stability look like?
Network applications are forking fine or not (ssh for example)?

Connection is quite stable (I can play Battlefield 1942 with no problem
hehe).

But I can't put v2.57 firmware on revision C2 unit can't I (v2.xx is only
for revision Bx units as far as I know)?
