We use the AirMagnet for a campus wireless assessment and it worked great.   -----Original Message----- From: 802.11 wireless issues listserv [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of SHAFFECB Sent: Friday, February 11, 2005 11:36 AM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Q: Best wireless card for AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer   We have been using the Cisco Aironet a/b/g Cardbus Adapter (p/n AIR-CB21AG-A-K9) on our laptop running the AirMagnet suite for almost a year. The data is solid, consistent, and provides a realistic representation of the performance an end user would experience.

The Orinioco is a PC Card, while the Broadcom is mini-PCI, so I suppose there's a difference in the antenna.   Obviously, we want our analyzer to give an accurate representation of what our normal wireless clients see, especially for site surveys.   Can anyone recommend a wireless A/B/G PC Card for use with AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer (and AirMagnet surveyor)?   Any suggestions are appreciated! ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
