RE: FreeBSD box as an Acess Point, again

You're asking for a lot, aren't you?  Check out Demarc--their 100Mw and
200 Mw Prism 2.5 cards have external antenna connections, and supposedly
they are going to be FCC-certified with Demarc's antenna "any day now."

I've been off tilting at other windmills lately, so I 
haven't had time to followup on this.

Another person commented they had problems with 
Prism 2 based cards.  Updating the firmware in the 
DWL-650 proved fruitless.

So, does anyone know of a Prism 2.5 based PCMCIA card 
that has an external antenna jack?  I need to tie to an 
external antenna, and I also need to be legal....

Thanks,
Mike
