I was under the impression that the WAP11 was equipped with a full 100mW radio? Is
this a marketing 'ghost spec' that doesn't test out in real use, or was I just
misinformed? I've looked through all of the materials shipped with the WAP11, and, as
a testament to it's 'end user' orientation, there is very little to be had outside of
the basic 'how-to' doc for setup.

Of course it's inexpensive, that's why so many people like it.
And its multiple modes make it interesting, too.
Cisco and ORiNOCO have their own quirks, too. With a lower-priced
product, I think there's also a greater probability that the users
don't know what they're doing, so if they can get it to work
at all, they're probably already pushing the limits of a 30 mW
radio. Why, just a few messages ago, someone was talking about
putting 75 feet of antenna cable on a WAP11.
