I wondered about that, but the initial settings were "automatic" and
the connection software didn`t try to put them on different channels.
Presently the internal wifi remains "automatic" and the USB wifi is
set to channel 5. At this point I`ll be interested mostly in whether
the setting is honored (tried it once before, still got channel 2).
There`s still something funny about the two channels when used
separately. The internal wifi shows ~5 ms pings to the access point
with no other traffic but seconds of delay when watching Youtube
videos. The external wifi alone shows ~2 ms delays when idle and
only about 4 ms when watching YouTube. The internal wifi bogs down
very badly under load, in a way that is new compared the initial
Bookworm installation.
On the plus side, at least the internal wifi can connect now. For
quite some time it didn`t connect at all. I`m using the same hardware,
only software updates have been applied.
Thanks for writing,
