Hi, Just posting this as a data point, since I've found it hard in the past to find out what wireless hardware is going to work or not (difficulty in finding out card chipsets, checking support for the chipset etc.), particularly for PCI cards. I've replaced my PCI EDI Max EW-7122 (ralink rt2500 chipset) with a new PCIe wireless card: TP-Link TL-WN881ND (Atheros AR9287 chipset). Back when I got it the rt2500 was one of the best supported wireless chipsets, but the card was beginning to show its age[1]. The new card is a 802.11n-compatible with two aerials, though my AP is still 11g, so I'm still limited to 54Mbs max. I haven't seen much difference in raw signal or reported link quality, but the link stability and through-put under Fedora 16 seem to be much better than previously. http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN881ND [1] I think there are a number of factors: where I am now I get poorer signal, obviously bandwidth demands have gone up over the years, maybe there's some hardware degradation and finally, though the team supporting the kernel driver have made a great effort the driver pre-dated the newer wireless stack and never seems to have been quite right since. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
