In case you are planning to buy wireless PCI/USB

I just joined the wireless revolution, and I'm not impressed.
I bought
- Airlink AWLH3026 PCI -- Ralink 2561 chip
- Airlink AWLL3026 USB -- ZyDAS 1211 chip (cheap clipped on plastic case)
Manufacturer changed the chipset on me. So, what I got wasn't what
others reported, and it took some time/effort before I could locate
source-code drivers. Anyways, it's kind of cool to see USB key booting
off, and doing X-terminal session through USB wireless. :-)
But, I'm getting only 11Mbit (802.11b), when both end of Ad-Hoc wireless
is 54Mbit (802.11g). They're bloody 2m apart!
I would like to acknowledge
- Bill Thanis (TLUG) for lending me his very expensive Lucent
Orinoco Gold PCMCIAs and PCI-to-PCMCIA adapter.
- Jeff Lorentz (BGLUG) for his most informative website.
