I have tried the netgear's with hostap and no go, orinocco driver only.
hostAP only works with Prism II/2.5 based chipsets
I have a Prism2-based D-Link DWL650 pcmcia card (via a d-link dwl-500well?
pcmcia->pci bridge) in one of my machines and a netgear fm114p as an AP.
I seem to be getting ~450K/s. The signal strength as reported by iwconfig
et al is 58/90. Being new to wireless, is this speed normal/low/doing
450kB/sec actual thruput ain't bad at all. Doesn't look like much when they
market it as 11mbit, but do the division and minus the overheads (which on
11b are quite high) and your left with a much lower figure.
Highest I've seen on any of the networks I've used is about 550kB/sec. Most
run at about the 430-480kB/sec thruput tho.
