Re: Atheros 5414 (AR5006XS) ordered
Atheros are great cards. I just love mine. Thanx to it and the quite decent antena built into my system I can pick up signals that a desktop PCI card with dedicated antena cannot.
I bet you'll like it.

Yea, Mines picks up a bit more then my 2915 did..
Also the battery life did give it a unexpected jump for the better!
If only I could find the latest drivers, its confusing how to control the card...the connection/db/power/etc.

What driver version are you using now?

Latest I found was April 1st, 2005. 4.1.2.38. If you find newer let me know.
I cannot seem to understand the transmittion power either. Even if I turn of power management it won't transmit at more than 30mW, even if I move my notebook away from the AP and speed starts to drop. Nothing seems to convince it to transmit higher.
But I don't mind. At the spot where I always use my notebook I can associate with the Cisco 1100 AP at full speed (54mbs) up & down. Even some 15-20 ft away and thru a concrete wall.

Same here, I don't mind not controlling it since it works great but I like putting things to the test ;)

PCD Global e-mailed the driver file to me. The file is labelled "1.31.000." The data1, data2, layout and setup files are dated 5.19.2005, so maybe these are the latest drivers?
Good to see all the positive feedback on these Atheros cards!!
