I have an Aironet AP and a couple of Aironet 340 cards, as well as a
NetGear card. The Aironet AP management application has an option
called "Use Aironet extensions" that is turned on by default. I don't
know what that does, or if it has anything to do with the following,
but I get about 750Kbyte/s from an Aironet card through the Aironet
AP, but only around 500Kbytes/sec from the NetGear Card. It does at
least work, though.
