It should, the 4 port pci card is around 2.8w. I'd probably go larger than the default 1.5amp power supply however. I also wouldn't also try putting a 7200rpm sata disk in there... > One more question: how can I attached Antenna (assuming standard Soekris > case for 5501?) This card has three MMCX port.

Also I'd check your local regs in poland because I don't think +24dBm is legal for transmit in either band so unless you have a really long cable you're attaching it to or you are a liscensed ham radio operator you might want to consider alternative approaches... > Thank you for help. > > > > > > > > net5501 > MMCX > > _______________________________________________ > Soekris-tech mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech > _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
