Hi, Maybe I should tell everybody that I'm working on a version of the net4501 where the PCI slot has been replaced with two PC-Card Slots side by side, especially for wireless applications.... That include a case with two antenna connnectors and upgraded power supply with support for Power over Ethernet (12-60 VDC). Prototypes is very close and production is 3-4 weeks out....
