I'm pretty sure that I've MFC'd it just after 4.6 was released. : Can I use a PrismII card to serve as the base station, : and then connect my clients using orinoco's (I got like : 5 of them)?

I have a proxim rangelanDS that has an external antenna plug on it, which isn't bad, but kinda hard to find if you don't shop the surplus market.
