I changed my mind about the transmit power again, though. The windows driver consistently has a higher data rate (54Mbps when bsd has 18Mbps, ignoring turbo mode), and it works through walls, where the freebsd driver doesn't. I guess I might as well /try/ the ndisulator. It can't hurt, except to hard hand my laptop, I guess.
