<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>Thats the big stumbling block, no ext
ant. If someone can get into one with a dig cam and post for the group to
see, theres enough loons with a soldering iron here to say yay or nay to getting
them wired. As for a driver I dont care, I want them in windoze for my
app, but how about approaching Jean T or other genious types to ask them how
hard it is to compile something like that?! Look at the reviews for these
things (like on the ebay pages for them) and youll see theyre slow as a wet
weak, but for the price woohoo! From the pics Ive seen it may be hard to
wire an ant, but Ive not seen inside them.<SPAN class=310313322-28102001><FONT

<DIV><BR></DIV>Its a bit hard to tell but right next to each other I find I
get about the max, so the strongest signal is the fastest and then the
further you get away from each other the slower it goes. <BR>You have to
remember they are very cheap cards. They could be quite valuable if we can
find a way to hook on an ext. ant, I haven't been able to get them working
in Linux <BR> <BR>

Home-Free wireless.</DIV> lol thats my auction. <BR>I bought a
couple of these from the US to play around with.. The range isn't very
good but if we could hack on an ext. ant they're very cheap to buy which
is a huge plus. <BR> <BR>
