neat.

according to wavemon on the laptop, i get an effective gain of around
2db by selecting the Right antenna.  SNR hovers around +18 to +21 db on
"diversity", and around +20 to +23db on "Right".  might just be normal
random variation.

i've got an 8dbi superpass omni hooked up to the access point at the
moment.  the laptop's got a dlink 650 and is currently sitting about 20
feet away (and about 3 walls) the AP.


anyone know what use power-saving mode might be?  or "Spread On/Off"?
