I have NO CLUE if the WET11's can handle the higher power cards.

WET11's- was RE: [Karlnet] ofdm in 2.4ghz?


So, since the Ubicom/WET11 units have PRISM 2.5 radios in them, I wonder if
it would be possible to substitute the higher power versions of those
radios, i.e.; a 100mW PRISM 2.5 radio?  I have just a few customers who
could benefit from such a swap.
