Norm:
I just received my 200 mW cards this week. I'm currently configuring a
Karlnet FlashROM ISP basestation and hope to be testing on Monday.
I will obviously be testing w/Orinoco cards and with 200 mW cards (on
base and CPE ends of the equation). More on this early next week.

Yes, please, is anyone else deploying this card with Karlnet TC? I'd
love for the problem to be other than this card, as I really, really
need that output power.
I'm really surprised at the receive sensitivity being so depressed. The
noise reported is -102dBm on the PRISM II card, and the signal is
reported at -101dB and the local signal reported at the laptop (Orinoco
card, 24dB parabolic, 4' pigtail, Karlnet TC running on XP) is -80dBm,
noise @ -99dBm,
S/N=19 dB, distance 7.5mi from AP, good LOS, no obstructions. The AP
is an
AP-1000, two radios slotted, one Orinoco on CH6 as a backhaul running
into a horizontally polarized 24dB parabolic, the other, the PRISM II
100mW card as the PtMP on CH11 running into a 90 degree, vertical
polarized 15dB sector, running TC v4.02.
