Yes.
I guess ral(4) that works fine over 20m through several double-brick
walls is a figment of my imagination then...
No.
A sensitive ral radio would be.

I probably missed something here, except for some Linux drivers, I
didn't remember Ralink had released any formal documents about its
MACs and RFs.

try different pigtails if possible. I've had very poor signal
strength in a soekris with a couple of different pigtails with
both ral(4) and ath(4) whereas the same cards in a thinkpad
did work ok.

I also have a ralink card (regular PCI used in a Soekris with OBSD 4.0),
and I am experiencing similar problems - horribly low radio performace
over short
it's not a pigtail problem, as i wrote that a always used prism cards
and it works. the resistor value of the pigtail is ok.

I just found a Proxim Gold 8470-FC card on eBay for $60 w/ shipping. Is
this a good deal? Is your card 8470-FC?
Thanks for the info.
Yeah, but mine is not FC but WD.

I have had similar experiences using ral in 802.11b mode.
Forcing 802.11G mode seems to help alot.
Could people in this thread please mention whether they are using ral in
b or g mode ?

I have experienced the same problems with both ath(4) and ral(4) (minipci

lossy :-/
for ral(4): g mode doesn't work very well for me (packet loss, ...) so
