Sorry if that sounded harsh.  It didn't seem as harsh when I was writing
it as it did just now reading it.  I meant no ill-will in any way by it.
Just trying to be frank I guess.  I'm not known for beating around the
bush.  :-)

OK.  That's fair enough.  I was just trying to supply some feedback in
case it was in fact unexpected.  I thought full throughput was being
targeted by the current reverse engineering effort.  I can totally
understand if it will never be achieved.

Yeah.  Given that it's got a minipci slot in it, maybe an atheros or
something.  I did in fact buy an ipw2200 based card "on spec" hoping to
replace the broadcom card in that unit but alas, the AP support for that
card is next-to-nonexistent.  Fortunately I didn't pay too much for it
and I had a laptop here with an old broadcomm 802.11b card in it that I
replaced.

Cheers,
b.
