Re: Senao CB3's gone dead

Its like this ... I use two identical setups but in one I used CB3 and
the other WRT (antenna, cables, etc .. all same). Then put them in
three different senarios with a constant data flow of same speed. And
I always see that WRT had more packet loss. Well I assumed that the
device was faultly so I repeated the test with two other WRTs. They
all came out the same. Both were put in 802.11b mode. Also my clients
report statistics showed the WRT hanged more then the CB3 units [about
2% more]. Is it because the WRT uses Broadcom and CB3 uses Prism? Btw
my APs are running on Prism2.5.

Obviously my choice of OS in a CPE (or anything) would be linux. It
makes life so much better with all the nice utilites that can be found
online. I only wish that those CB3 ran on linux.
