A USB unit (similar to the Agere/Orinoco) that would support the higher
powered Prism cards would be a good and simple CPE for some
installations. It would allow for being placed nearer the antenna, with
a medium-length run of USB cable into a PC that wouldn't have to be
opened.
Doug, you and I corresponded about this last week, I think, with the
discussion centering on how Agere (then Lucient) had purchased the
driver from another source. You mentioned problems getting much speed.
Frankly, with Prism code being more open, I'd rather see a Prism USB
solution, If the Karlnet people think it's practical. With the Agere USB
stuff selling for around $100 with radio card--maybe adding an antenna
and a medium USB cable run would keep CPE simpler and reduce costs.

I think it's worthwhile. There are certain people I dont care to monitor
anything other than signal and dont need a full blown ethernet solution.
$25-$35 per lic. would be cool.
