If I recall, there was also talk about lower signal strength with ralink. For an access point this is important, but could be mitigated or overcome by a high gain antenna. FWIW, I haven't done any hard testing about signal strength, but I'm at least 50 ft from my ral(4) openbsd access point, as is my daughter using her ral(4) openbsd laptop. No problems here. Access point is a soekris with a normal stubby antenna, and the laptops involved are minipci and cardbus (no external antenna at all). :) -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
