Thoughts on antenna design at CantennaMusings

I originally purchased RangeLanDsComments cards from MichaelCodanti.  Got 2 cards, 2 pigtails, and needed a PCI adapter to plug one into a desktop to bring the AP up.<<BR>>

That proved problematic.  So I bought a DlinkDwl520 card.  Which requires a PCI 2.2 slot, available on very new hardware currently (June 2002) so I went back to Frys . . . the return experience was more pleasant than I expected.  Gritted my teeth to pay $100 for a Linksys WMP11.  At the register the clerk said "That's $79.99"  Turns out they have some sort of unadvertised special or price match going on.  And the card currently (early June 2002) has a $5 rebate.  So the cost dropped to $75.  Much nicer!<<BR>>

This card is easy to configure and use with the HostApMode software from [[http://hostap.epitest.fi/|epitest.fi ]] Bonus that the Linux Wireless tools work with it.  I've now used the same code to drive my (employer's) notebook with the Proxim RangeLan - on which I'm doing this page edit from the couch in my living room.  It's up!
