[MLB-WIRELESS] Question about some Wireless cards

[Jason Hecker]

>Question 1:

>just thought i had better check.)

No, the two are independant.  The higher the gain you can get for your 
antenna the better.  But... you have to make sure your antenna is impedance 
matched properly to the card and associated cables.... Ah.... don't panic 
just yet though.

>Question 3:
>     Is D-Link  wireless stuff any good.

D-Link stuff is fine.  I have modified a DWL-520 (see here 
http://www.wireless.org.au/~jhecker/pigtail/pigtail.html) to allow fitting 
of a variety of antennas.

Come to the wireless meeting tonight
