Well, sounds like an upgrade opportunity for Dell and HP. HP sucks though because the firmware will not let you go buy a card and just pop it in. "Unauthorized wireless card fount in slot blah, blah, blah" HP will only let you use a card you buy from them even if it's the same model and

No. Use 5725 on one side, 5850 on the other. Don't use 5735 or 5840 on either adjacent side if you can help it. If you are doing this with 2.4 you are pretty well screwed :-). There just isn't enough spectrum to do it nicely. Keep the TX power REALLY low and make up for it with bigger client

If they leak they were damaged or you didn't tighten them all the way. They have rubber gromits that go around the cables of which have a good quarter inch of thread after finger tightening. The part that conjoins the two has an O ring and more then enough thread to prevent leakage. Josh Luthman
