I bought two of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833164110 for either end of the connection, but I'm having trouble making it work well. I've noticed the connection will be perfect for a short time, but then disappear. When watching iwconfig during this process, it looks like the connection is good when on a low rate, but when it goes to 54 Mbps it falls apart. Should limiting the rate solve this problem? If so, how can I do that? I'm using hostapd on the AP and wpa_supplicant on the client. - Grant -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
