Darn, I was hoping you had some experience upon which to recommend
them! Yes, I googled and tried some of the places Ed suggested. It
looks like there's a whole different WIFI industry out there apart
from the product names we usually see in the computer ads.


I can recommend the Ubititi RF sections in general because I've had
several of their cards. I just meant I know nothing of this particular
supplier.

The AP and AP-like stuff (like the picorouter, bullet etc) all use the
same Linux-based OS that my Ubiquity LS2 AP uses. I have both an LS2
and two of the PCI 2 Ghz cards. The cards work find under Fedora (and
did since FC4, I think). They show up as an Atheros driver and it works
out of the box. The AP is just a well-behaved AP that cuts through all
the noise when the previous ones got drowned out trying to fire through
my exterior chicken-wire and stucco walls.

Just make sure that you apply all of the known good practices for using
Wireless to these routers since they have much greater transmission
distances.
