Or was that AirLAN ? Their speed was 2Mbit/s and they were able to work both point-to-point with directed antenna or broadcast with some different (all-directed) model of antenna which we did not have because we needed them as point-to point connection and directed antenna gave longer range. Most of the time they worked quite good. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
