I'm going to pull this PRISM II 100mW card, as I've discovered that the
reporting of the signal strength at the AP (PRISM II, Karlnet TC) is
accurate---and extremely low. I'm seeing signal strengths that are a good
10dB below what they were with the Orinoco radio in place and all other
factors equal/similar. The transmit power is as expected, 5dB above the
Orinoco radios, but the receive sensitivity is, to say the least, very
disappointing.
I'll report the findings with the Orinoco radio slotted, and perhaps it will
reveal some other factor is at work, but for now, the PRISM II card is a dud
on the receive sensitivity side. (Also the crash on reboot "feature".)
