Jonathan, thanks for the reply.
reading ral(4)
The RT2500 chipset is the first generation of 802.11b/g adapters from
Ralink. It consists of two integrated chips, an RT2560 or RT2570(USB)
MAC/BBP and an RT2525 or RT2526(USB) radio transceiver.
and
The ural driver supports automatic control of the transmit speed in
BSS mode only. Therefore the use of a ural adapter in Host AP mode
is dis-couraged.
So I should look for a RT2570/RT2526 combination? Anyone know of a USB
adapter with external antennae connections? I have an old 802.11b Prism
USB adapter that had external antennas. If I set the speed to 54MBps it
will stay locked? Not a problem as I want to put a bi-quad at the focal
point of an 18" parabolic dish at either end. Then again, since this is
point to point, I don't really need to configure as an AP.
thanks again
