[MLB-WIRELESS] Opinion

[bchild at wireless.org.au]

The PCMCIA card, isn't too hard to install, install of drivers leaves alot to be 
desired.  Once getting all the firmware and software drivers going, the cards aren't
to bad.  Maximum in a Win98 environment ftp and file transfers of 300k-430k a sec.
I have noticed though that the cards are quiet power hunrgy and don't work in net 
stumbler for people who were interested.  The USB verison is quite easy to setup, 
tranfers of 380k-440k a sec.  I was quite impressed in with their access point, easy 
of use and security is quite reasonable.

Overall price i haven't been told, if you can bulk buy lucents or whatever prism2 
based cards then i would go with them first..  If on a general basis and the price 
was right then it's all good.. :)

I got sent a demo of these cards, and it wasn't exactly straight forward to
get going... Glen would be able to tell you more re this, as he eventually
got it going :)
