Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: [ I'm currently not subscribed to this list, so please kindly include me in replies! ] I'm trying to find a good USB Wifi adapter for a [mobile;-)] long range point to point link for an ARM based Linux board. Long range in my application would preferably be > 30km;-) I was almost buying the the Ubiquity SR71-USB, it seemed to be the best fit I could find. But then I found, that the Linux driver (carl9170) still lists the missing long range support:-( So now I'm somewhat lost:-( That's why I would like to ask for advise;-) My requirements: * Long range support, preferably > 30km with antenna[s] * Linux on ARM, no ndis or other x86-only stuff * preferably small/light * USB * still buy-able;-) * 802.11g would probably be fast enough So who can help me;-) Thanks in advance, -- Marco
