SOLVED: Re: [Madwifi-devel] Driver Problems

[<hi...@de...>]

Sorry guys, this ball wasn't meant for your court.  Seems it was power supply 
problems, apparently these 802.11a cards use ALOT more power than the 802.11b 
stuff we have been using.  The systems were drawing more current then the 
production cables (24V over 100 foot POE runs) could carry.  On my desk 
however, I was running them directly off a 12V brick with a 3 foot cable run.
