[MLB-WIRELESS] wifi cards for sale

[Michael Carey]

I recently had a guy from the ACMA here in Port Lincoln investigating an 
interference issue affecting Vodafone. Using my local knowledge of 
likely suspects in the general direction the interference was coming 
from, he tracked it down to one of these kinds of wireless cards. The 
user was asked to change the channel away from Vodafone, but I'm not 
sure if any further action was taken.
He also found some interference from a railway weighbridge RFID tag 
system some distance away...
