Installation was smooth and you would not belive the difference it made!  25db to 30db drop in the noise floor on the AP which makes that much more useable signal for all the connections. Everybody on the link has 30db of signal and everybody is GREEN!  Score 1 point for Demartec and Zcomax. Minus 1 Point for Orinoco/Agere/Lucent for the junk wireless cards they make.

Hello,

I would not say that Orionoco is "junk wireless cards" because brute force 
power is not always the answer.  However, I am an advocate of Demarctech cards 
that Tony Morella does sell for particular applications, and I have many 
deployed in the field, either in RG-1000s, AP1000s and Flashroms.  Some are 
bases, some are satellites, but overall they perform well.  There are some 
issues with the Karlnet's support of these cards in their software, however it 
is related to any Intersil card, not just the Demarctech ones.  I have voiced 
these concerns to Karlnet and I know for a fact that progress is being made to 
address these issues.  The problems are not severe and are not in the scope of 
this discussion.  I would recommend these cards to anyone where the application 
suits a need for a slight power margin.
