Be advised, the BSS mode the Cisco Aironet 340/350 series *seems* to not rebroadcast to all associations like a hub, but like a switch. So, promisc doesn't work. This is somehting I find *very* important when comparing the Lucent AS-1000 vs the Aironet 340/350. I'm a bit partial to the 350 seires cards, they get a helluvha range compared to the Lucent cards because they only put out about 31.6mw whereas the cisco 350 cards put out 100mw, about another 5db. I've been able to pick out more lone airport stations with it than my cohorts with lucent cards :) -- Scott Dier <dieman at ringworld.org> <sdier at debian.org> http://www.ringworld.org/ #linuxos at irc.openprojects.net So little time, so little to do. -- Oscar Levant -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
