--------------4E3E59442C26F9C8E64E4D32 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm not sure either and asked the same question a few weeks back with no response, but I think I have found an alternative that is just as good. I can buy an 802.11b AP AND a bridge for under $200 from Senao. These use the same 200 mw cards referenced in the Soekris build. Throw in a $35 Nema box for protection and you basically have the same thing without having to buy the board. If anyone is interested, I can get as many of these as needed. The bridge is POE or 12V but the AP takes regular 12 V. I also have some very high performace slotted waveguide antennas available (19 dBi 105 degree - other beamwidths available too). I have these in 2.4, 5.3, and 5.8 GHz. The 5 gig antennas are 16 dBi 90 degree standard, but can be made in narrower beamwidths. The narrower BW antennas have the added benefit of increased gain and better F-B ratios as well. I garantee that you can't find antennas this good for what I can get them for. If you can find a matching antenna, or even one that is close for cheaper, please let me know. Email me for a spec sheet.
