Hi:
I'm trying to settle on hardware for the upcoming wireless census and
I have a question about wireless receivers.
We want something that'll work on the greatest range of laptops and
OS'es (MAC, PC, Linux), so we're standardizing on USB connections (not
serial or PCMCIA) and devices that'll work on all platforms.
I'm trying to decide between the Orinoco USB (~100mw) and the Senao
USB (200mw):

My question: for optimal reception, is it better to have a highpowered
card with a basic antenna (senao) or a lower powered card with an
excellent antenna (orinoco)?
Help appreciated!
Rob
