[MLB-WIRELESS] Hold off on buying wireless equipment for a few months!

[Richard Talbot]

For those that have 802.11b links up, Just how accurate is this?  Perhaps
people can give me some idea of link distance vs speed?  If this is the case
I might be better to go for some of the cheaper 100mW cards for the link I
have in mind.  The link I want to put in is 700m.  LOS is shaky as there are
some trees in the way...
