It's nice that a Proxim driver for RangeLAN2 has become available for Linux, but I'm very suspicious when parts of the software is distributed in binary only due to proprietary reasons. For my own this make the driver useless as I will use Digital Alpha Multia as access points and therefore need source code drivers. By the way, is there anyone that know something more about the Proxim cards? There seem to be two types with 100 mW and 400 mW output power. In the data sheet http://www.proxim.com/products/mobility/rl802/8400.shtml they specify the ranges with two different antennas. None of the ranges are especially impressive. Both Lucent WaveLAN and Gemtek specify somewhat larger ranges. What is unclear is what the different power 100 and 400 mW makes in the obtained range for the Proxim cards.
