Alexey, I recommend the Samsung MagicLAN card, because it's Prism2 and supports external antennas. I believe there are two versions of the card sold, one which has an integrated antenna, and one which has two MMCX jacks and no integrated antenna. I believe that there is also a PCI version available. I've only seen these for sale at enkay.com. For antennas, check out hyperlinktech.com. A good antenna makes a big difference in range and signal quality. If your customer doesn't care about having a good external antenna, you could go for the cheap and dependable Netgear MA401. There are two variants of these. The older ones are Prism2 and the newer ones are Prism2.5. I picked one up for $50 last month. Both seem to work equally well in hostAP mode. - Brian -- Brian Buchanan brian@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org On Tue, 16 Jul 2002, Alexey Zelkin wrote: > Folks, > > My customer want to setup few wireless networks based on FreeBSD > server and require that server's wireless card to be used in Access > Point mode.
