 Indeed, I'm using a SL-2511SR Plus which is basically a SL2511 AP Pro
Plus with a print server.

I'm not using a normal pigtail. The antenna is one of those Hyperlink
Technologies deals with a MMCX connector on the cable. The WLan Expert
program says the SWR on the antenna rates it as "excellent."

 I would expect to see some directionality if it was offsite. My suspicion
is that it is the 266 Mhz laptop's fault. If I'm right, then, I wonder if
it's possible to approach the sensitibity limits with standard equipment.
I'm sure a Soekris box must put out some jamming power at 2.4 Ghz.

So far my tests indicated that the minimum sensitivity is near -67 dBm as
registered by WLan expert. Has anyone else made similar measurements?

It will take me awhile to source another antenna but in the mean time I
will try moving the setup 14 miles away to see if it's my site.
