Hi,
I've brought up card modifying ("modding") before, it's gets the odd
mention, but to few responses.
Perhaps it's a touchy subject considering the FCC's take on it, perhaps it's
that some go too far. (I seem to remember someone who was pushing a Senao
card with a high-gain external antenna and possibly irradiating himself)
Considering the professions and technical expertise of the regular
contributors here, you get the feeling it's beneath them. It's
understandable though, seeing the projects and tech issues being
discussed...
However, I am one of those who like to tinker and get more out of what they
already have, sort of like those who overclock their CPU's.
Now, aside from the comparison pages and the FCC site, there's not much of a
online resource for those who wish to do it. This despite having spoken to
many who always wanted to do this.
I have seen a few pages dedicated to modding their SMC cards, their D-Link
cards, their Netgear cards, the USB adapters etc., but never a website or
forum dedicated specifically to this subject. It's pretty damn surprising,
considering the interest.
Is there such a website? If not, has anyone given thought to starting one?
I'd start one myself, if I had the experience and resources, but I think
there are far more with better expertise in this area.
If, like before, few are interested, I'll let this rest for a while, but I
think this is a common question for those on the client side of Wi-Fi, and
there will probably be more and more..
I hope some give a thought to this issue.
Thanks in advance!
