Some more info: 1: It is roughly 71 feet from the sidewalk pad in front of the pump house to the cantenna hanging on the side of the next building.
2: It is about 10' from the edge of the pad to where the linksys router is at. Figure 15' to be safe. 3: The straight line from AP to cantenna is probably around 72.5 to 73'. 4: It appears that the RealTek card on the Linux side likes to disassociate itself from the AP. 5: The well is in a seperate room in the pump house and the building is wood, so the wireless signal should have no problem traveling through the walls. 6: Because of the well, it isn't practical to bury an underground Ethernet line between the pump house and the next building. It isn't practical to run an aerial line either. Before I think, oh I'll just go to Ebay and get a new wireless card such as an Orinoco gold card, I want to know if I'm close enough to get a good connection. I'm also concerned that my Linksys router in the pump house is flaky because I'm having trouble accessing the web page on it. Humidity is going to be problematic because the signal has to travel through the open air between these buildings. It might even be a problem inside the buildings themselves. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
