My N900 is pretty old and now it has stopped connecting to wifi networks.
I have tried all sorts of security methods but still the result remains the same.
N900 scans just fine, wifiinfo also shows good quality for nearby networks. I am able to connect once i keep the n900 device close to the router. I have to practically touch the router antenna with my device to connect.

It does point that hardware is screwed but I still have hope since the scanning works fine.

Also to point out dmesg shows direct probe to ap try 1..2...3...timed out
Can anybody guide me on how to make sure the wifi chip is fried.
