Nightly runs of the linux > code with Good to hear you can get 108mbit speeds, the point I was trying to make is that the hassle of buying two of a specific single vendor equipment gear that have made their own home made 108mbit standard isn't worth it for me. I suppose if you didn't use your laptop anywhere but at a single place such as just using a laptop only at home and you needed the speed (and your were sure you could reach it) you could buy a set of wireless gear from a single vendor with their own 108mbit standard and hope it works. To me I decided its a mistake to try and make my choice of what wireless gear to buy on non standard 802.11 pre-N creation that will only work with 1 single vendor and probably only a single point in time in their product line.
