Hello!

13 miles with A??? what kind equip (cm9?) and what size of antennas are you
using?  Did you have to get up ungodly high?   Is it a quiet area?  I am
trying to make a 12mi link work, and they dont even see each other...
(kismet gets no packets either).  Although this is comming out of a noisy
area, most of the noise (as far as I know) is b/g .  A, being its own
creature, I was hoping that I could get an A link that doesnt have to fight
the noise for my feed, but so far, no good.

I am trying with a wrap/cm9 (wisp-dist) at one end and a regular pc/cm9 in a
pci/minipci bridge (full-on SuSE91)  at the other.  I have 29Db gain
antennas at either end as well.  nothing.

I would also be interested in what you are using as an OS, is this beiring?

Good Luck
