Hello Sam, Monday, May 14, 2007, 2:39:21 AM, you wrote: SL> For Atheros SoC = GPU + Wireless h/w.

It is very interesting question, why D-Link release simple PCI WiFi adapter on this chipset (DWL-G520M). I've looked at it because it is MIMO-capable -- I have very difficult configuration of walls in one place, and I've thought, that replacing simple DWL-G520 with DWL-G520M will help... I don't need SoC-features and I read about them on Atheros site only after your message... As far, as I understand this SoC was created for home entertiment/media devices, not for WiFi adapters for PC... -- Best regards, Lev mailto:lev@FreeBSD.org
