Re: getting good range .. - ditching USB wireless adaptor. What PCI one?

The more I look at the Hawking the more it does look like the one to
recommend. The fact that it has signal LEDs on it means that anybody
can point it. And it is showing slightly better transmit power on
it's specs as the Senao. -23~24dbm @?speed Hawking vs 22dbm
@6-24Mbps -Senao ) for whatever that's worth. In other words,
equivalent.

Here's the data for the claimed increased sensitivity on the Senao

Senao- Receive Sensitivity (Typical)

l2.412~2.472G(IEEE802.11g)

6Mbps@ -91dBm;

54Mbps@ -76dBm

l2.412~2.472G(IEEE802.11b)

11Mbps@ -91dBm;

1Mbps@ -96dBm
