Everyone, I am at my wits end. I have searched high and low for a mini-pci radio & sector antenna combo for an 802.11b AP that are legal under the current FCC rules, which by my interpretation are: 1. Total output is 36 dbm or less. 2. Antenna characteristics must be the same as an ante

As far as I know the only certified combo's are Cisco w/ YDI antennas, and even those are certified right down to the cable length, yes your cable length has to be certain lengths in order to be legal.

Bob, I really don't care if it is a CM9, I just wanted the routerboard because it can act as an L2TP server. I did not think that the wrap/routerboard controller really mattered because it isn't the radio, the mini-pci card is. So I think the real question is, are there any mini-pci/antenna
