Hi Peter,
I have both ral and rum devices here, and we're quite happy with them. In my experience at least they are quite reliable. They are rather inexpensive too, the USB versions can can usually be had for 50 euros or less, mini-PCIs even less.
Ops, sorry, I was meaning internal devices! I am looking for an internal wireless card.
Since you mention Intel parts, wpi in my Thinkpad R60 has a tendency to almost, but not quite, resetting it self at apparently random intervals, losing the link. Nothing that can't be handled with a new ifconfig up mumble plus dhclient mumble, and the recent revisions in -current is noticeably better, but still a bit irritating.
yes, I also have observed this behaviour in some machines... it's indeed irritating!
I was at the point of considering some minor surgery on the Thinkpad to put a rum mini-pci in there instead, but the Damien Bergamini did some magic which made the wpi behave a little better.
iwi is not that lucky, I think... but I should shut up because I have not check it in detail Thanks for your comments Pau
