Hi

I recently built an wireless access point using a Soekris 4801 with
Atheros AR5212 and OBSD4.2 (flashimg-2007110)

I bought two Atheros cards for the WAP and the client laptop, because
the ath(4) manpage indicated that 802.11a/g operation was possible.

In actuality turns out 802.11a or g just don't want to work in my setup
regardless of client OS (and from further research online others have
had that issue too, doh!)

Ok so live and learn...

Now, I want to change the mini-pci adapter on my Soekris 4801 from ath0
to something else, so that I may enjoy robust 802.11g (and/or 802.11a).

I have read recent threads on ral(4) and also looked at pgt(4) also and
my gut feeling is that I should probably buy two Ralink Technology IEEE
802.11a/b/g wireless mini-pci cards.

Any thoughts, or insights, suggestions as to which of the mini-pci cards
below work *really well* with a Soekris 4801 box?

Amigo AWI-922W, Billionton MIWLGRL, Gigabyte GN-WIKG, Gigabyte
GN-WI01GS, Gigabyte GN-WI02GM, MSI MP54G2, MSI MS-6833, Tonze PC-620C,
Zinwell ZWX-G36

Thanks in advance for any info.

:-)

Best regards,

Andre
