If you don't want to go for the Ubiquiti model, I can recommend the SparkLan WPEA-127N card (AR9380 chip). Using it for about a month, getting decent speeds and no problems/lockups/??? yet (but this regulatory stuff, oh well. ;)) > High sensitivity is great but I don't want to be exposed to too much > radiation.

I'd say local radio stations or phone cells do affect your health a dozen of times more, but anyway, that's plain overanxiousness. WLAN won't give you cancer or brain damage (disregarding the already mentioned regulatory stuff, which may inflict severe brain damage.) > Will I be able to dial down the power since I only need the signal to travel about 20 feet max? wlan1 IEEE 802.11abgn Mode:Master Frequency:5.22 GHz Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off > iwconfig wlan1 txpower 10 wlan1 IEEE 802.11abgn Mode:Master Frequency:5.22 GHz Tx-Power=10 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off > iwconfig wlan1 txpower 1 wlan1 IEEE 802.11abgn Mode:Master Frequency:5.22 GHz Tx-Power=1 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off I guess all ath9k supported cards are capable of reducing the transmit power, so yeah.
