Are both higher powered cards overheating? Also are you able to pull
snr from the radio's?

in

that

power

one

base

> 802.11b compatible access point!
>
> So far, I've tried to work around the problem by:
> - Flashing the Netgate card with 4 different versions of the base &
> station functions firmware from Intersil.
> - Trying to use one of the Zcomax cards in 802.11b access point mode.
> (same problem, AP-1000 will not finish booting)
>
> Anyone have experience with using Prism 2.5 based cards in 802.11b
mode?
> According to Karlnet release notes for v4.31 firmware, Intersil Prism
2.5
> based cards are supposed to work in both TurboCell and 802.11 mode.
