I won't need a good range... something that works fine up to 8 meters (between 2 rooms) is enough.
I have to check if the driver I use allows Master mode.
# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
lsbcmnds driver present, hardware present
Any idea?
Fernando.

thats pretty cool to know. When I take a PCMCIA card out of my laptop
its quite hot. I was just wondering if asking it to draw more power (in
oncrease transmit power) would pose a cooling problem. The APs have the
benefit of at least convection cooling. not to mention better antennas.
