Okay, so I’ve got two wireless cardbus cards \u00e2\u20ac\u201d an SMC 2435W and a D-Link DWL-650+. Both use the same chipset. Which to keep?<\/p>\n
Yes, this evening saw Stewart wandering about his street in Scarborough seeing where each card gave out. I got some strange looks.<\/p>\n
I think the D-Link card has the edge in range, being able to connect from across the street. It was a bit more expensive, and it has a bulkier aerial. The SMC is more svelte, and was less than half the price. I’d probably recommend both cards, if you can handle the hassle of building the acx100<\/a> driver.<\/p>\n I should really test their battery drain. I have a felling that the D-Link’s a bit of a hog, as my battery is dropping quite fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, so I’ve got two wireless cardbus cards \u00e2\u20ac\u201d an SMC 2435W and a D-Link DWL-650+.
