So that card has a range of 25x 802.11b standard?  That is cool but what
about the remote device.  Does it not need to be that powerful to talk
back?  This card would be useless when paired up with a POS weak D-Link
802.11b router.  I've got one installed in my dad's garage and can get
no signal from the family room.  That is at most 200'.  I'm using a
Linksys 802.11b Prism2 card on my laptop.
