Situation (theoretical one, I didn't try it, but I'm thinking about WiFi coverage of my parent's cottage and lot): WiFi card with 2 antennas, in 802.11g (or single-channel 802.11n) mode. Both antennas are attached, but they are directed )not uni-directional, but something with 180 degree or less diagram), and they are "see" different sectors (and different clients). Will it work? will card/driver understand, that different packets should be sent via different antennas? -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov
