[GLLUG] Great Cheap wireless PCI!

[pdwald]

I also have a bunch of wifi cards; some made in China, and some 
elsewhere (mainly Taiwan). But that is not a factor in terms of quality. 
I would be more concerned with brand; good brands like US-Robotics may 
have products with a not so rich or even subpar featureset, capabilities 
and resources (such as range, strength of signal, UPNP with NAT 
Traversal, etc); but usually they have a good team of development and 
quality control system in place. All my cards based on atheros have all 
features enables, including promiscuous mode (which is not possible with 
other chipsets, such as admtek; at least it was not last time I read 
about it). Besides almost everything now is made in China nowdays; even 
motherboards makers based in Taiwan make their products in China.

I was utilizing Ixchariot for network, but it is a proprietary solution. 
Would any have any suggestion of a free one with similar capabilities.

Thanks,

Pedro Wald
