Actually, at least with Airgo's MIMO technology (Belkin/SOHOWare), a MIMO PCMCIA card will get better range than a standard 802.11g card when connecting to a standard 802.11g AP. Same when using a MIMO AP with a standard card vs a standard AP with a standard card.

Humphrey,

This is the best card I have in my whole pile. Wouldn't trade it for
anything else.

It blew me away. You have to combine with their AP/Router

to really see

what it can do. Impressive.

Of course you do.   If the card sends MIMO to an ordinary AP, the AP
will only 'see' (hear?) garbage, and visa versa.

Now then, tell us how you get 3X range in a LOS environment, and ...
"3X compared to what, and in what type of environment, and at
what throughput/rate?"

Its MIMO, not Magic.

Hello,

Anyone have experience with the Parkervision wifi cards?

They claim no

deadspots in your house, etc etc.

We thought it was voodoo, so we asked for a review unit... I'll be
damned I
get triple the range.  I'll try a wardrive today with the card.
