[MLB-WIRELESS] GDW -> GHO

[Richard Van Orsouw]

Thanx rowan, I gave that a go this morning and it returned 100% packet loss,
whereas a normal 56 byte ping returns %5-10 loss. I won't bother playing
with any TCP/IP parameters, rather concentrate on efforts to increase
receive level from GDW. 

Cheers,

Richard
