The link was for a beta set of drivers. It has probably been pulled. Sorry. Here is a link to the Intel set of software: »downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts···tID=1637 Should give you driver and client software. On sensitivity, the card is rated to -85db I believe. I have found in practice that at that signal level the throughput would be very slow and not very usable. I have excellent results with a -50 to -65db signal. -- My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am.

| No. Sensitivity of a card is a measurment of how sensitive or good the receiver is. The higher the negative number, the better the receiver. Why would you want to adjust this? There is a way, in most cases, to set the output of the transmitter. Setting the power levels lower would mean that your signal would not go as far and might be good if you wanted to limit your coverage. -- My goal in life is to be as good of a person as my dog already thinks I am. |
