[MLB-WIRELESS] D-Link Presentation moves to the August meeting

[evilbunny]

Hello Craig,

Michael from DLink the other day was also saying the throughput on the
backward compatibility of 802.11b supposedly has 20% more efficiency
as well... compared to what I'm not sure of...

CM> I can't wait to get my hands on a pair of DWL-520+ PCI cards and see what

CM> these soon as well. I'll post as soon as I do.
