Hi again...

Ah....

Could that be the root of my challenges WRT connectivity? That a
g-enabled unit could talk to something a b could not?

As to identification, the URL I gave you for the Hawking unit wasn't
sufficient?

So, back to the story, some time ago (don't remember for sure when or
in what context) you commented about preferring a g-enabled unit. I
don't recall the specifics of why you preferred those, but this
particular point has me wondering:

Would there be APs which "speak" only g, and not b? I would have
thought them backward compatible, but, maybe not.

OTOH, as much as these senao units are supported by those who have them
figured out, I'd have expected them not to have this (assuming that's
what's going on) problem. And, their literature proclaims the
superiority of transmission/reception on b over g. At any rate, as
above, perhaps that's why I can "get" stations with the Hawking and -
even though they show up in a scan, at the same strengths - not with
the senao?

And, this has scratched my curiosity, so I just went topsides and
looked - I was mistaken - they just *looked* alike. What I have is a
[HWU54D]
(http://www.hawkingtech.com//support/details.php?CatID=19&FamID=33&ProdID=176&Rev=Orig),
which is, indeed, a g unit. What I'd thought I'd had (the URL I
provided) was an antenna and adapter in the same unit, and looked just
like what I have (which I assume is the same configuration, giving it
the 6dBi and acting as an adapter as well).

Of course, I still have to kill the IP conflict dragon, but this
exchange makes me wonder if my inability to connect some stations has
to do with b or g issues...

Thanks for sticking with me. My ability (since gone the way of IP
conflicts, again) to actually communicate with/through them gives me
hope that I can, after all, make them work...
