Mac Toters Push Wireless Bounds

Stuffing an 802.11b card into the TiBook's PCMCIA socket might seem 
obvious, but "most people haven't tried it," Skolnick said. If they did, 
they'd find that neither Apple's OS X operating system nor most Wi-Fi 
cards come with the necessary drivers to make them work together.

The EnGenius pumps out 200 milliwatts of radio signal, compared with the 
30- to 100-milliwatt range of most 802.11b cards, and similarly boosts 
reception for incoming network packets. Yet it can be found for under 
$90, compared with up to twice that for better-known brands.

Anyone using that card?  It would be nice to have card 
comparison/reviews in the resources section of  nycwireless.  Just a 
thought.
