The > an driver supports two antennas so this is suggestive. The Cisco cards have two antennas inside that thing. Their diversity support is one of the major advertised features. Actually, the Cisco cards look exactly like the older Aironet cards once you attach the standard antenna to the old ones so I suspect it's exactly the same except that they bonded the antenna on to cut costs. The PCI cards still have the version without an antenna and they attach a single antenna to the back of the card via a cable. There is actually a punched hole on the back for a second antenna, but I'm pretty sure you must get a firmware upgrade to make it work. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
