[MLB-WIRELESS] linux expert help needed

[Shane Chubb]

Seems very reliable. However as i understand it 802.11 is only 2 Mbit
and the Card's best speed yet is 1.6Mbit.  Although that is fine for my
purpose, most people would need/want more speed from such a product.
And it does not interoperate with other brand gear very well.  Although
I am hoping that was more the windows drivers as the card is "claimed"
to be compatible with other gear.  I will probably get this going and
perhaps look at upgrading to orinoco gear once finances are a little
better (this is the christmas season after all). :)
