You misunderstand my concern, I'm aware of the speed and figure it's
plenty good enough for the connection and the purpose.
What I am concerned with is that ... nobody has homepna because it's crap.
For the cost of two cards for desktops, I could have bought three ethernet
cards. I have yet to ever even see one of these things for a notebook. I
sure don't have one. Unless you have ethernet to homepna bridges in each
room, 99% of your customers will be unable to use it because that's what
they expect they'll need. Most modern laptops feature ethernet standard,
with a 56k modem being an option that is sometimes left out or exchanged
for 802.11b wireless. No laptop features homepna standard, and as I said
I have yet to see a suitable PCMCIA card...
