I've seen a d-link 650 lose contact with an AP that is less than 15 feet away, and suffer performance-wise in conditions where my orinoco has not skipped a beat. I've heard that the cisco aironet cards have even higher output. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
