Hi Chris, I have 2 ral(4) cards, one of them a RT2860 chipset. I'm curious, what happens if you have a client connected to your ral(4) hostap and said client sends a lot of traffic at once through it? (Like a huge download, or BitTorrent?) Does the hostap handle it? I'm curious because I couldn't get either my RT2661D or RT2860 ral(4) cards working properly in hostap mode. Tom
