But for whatever reason (perhaps not enough time to RTFM) I haven't been able to get them to do what I need -- run the Atheros-based a/b/g cards in A. > > 3.

Working in the 5GHz range, including using 4.92, 4.94, 4.96, and 4.98 GHz (two of which I have legally assigned to me in Panama) but for which neither madwifi nor ath5k handles for me at the moment -- so I use a proprietary solution with those cards. I am just about ready to try to hack the sources to get it to do what I want, but will probably first actually try to RTFM if the FM exists. > > Any input is highly welcome, thanks in advance for your time. > > Bye, Mike > > [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.madwifi.project/165 > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day > trial.
