From what I understand, the 108Mbps requires the card talk to both 54Mbps radios on the AP/Router to get the 108Mbps as it gets 54Mbps from each one. I don't think any AP supports the 108Mbps mode yet as the only announcements I've seen are on Atheros's website on Netgear and D-Link AP/Routers and it seems the 108Mbps support will be available as firmware upgrades as well as driver updates sometime this month: http://www.netgear.com/pressroom/press_releasesdetail.asp?id=145 http://www.atheros.com/news/DLink_product.html Cheers, Vince - vince@WURLDLINK.NET - Vice President ________ __ ____ Unix Networking Operations - FreeBSD-Real Unix for Free / / / / | / |[__ ] WurldLink Corporation / / / / | / | __] ] San Francisco - Honolulu - Hong Kong / / / / / |/ / | __] ] HongKong Stars/Gravis UltraSound Mailing Lists Admin /_/_/_/_/|___/|_|[____] Almighty1@IRC - oahu.DAL.NET Hawaii's DALnet IRC Network Server Admin
