And if the range of the cards is acceptable :-)

I do have to send a big "thanks" to David though... the NetBSD driver
is much better recovering from situations where the link may be spotty
or where the card considers it spotty, anyway (my old Lucent Gold has
no issues in most of those same spots :-).

Under Win2k, the card generally drops off the air until prodded from
the configuration app to re-scan for APs.. Under NetBSD it picks up
right where it left off without my intervention (this is with a DWL-
650).  Also, it seems there are less "dark spots" under NetBSD than
under Win2k.

Thanks, David!
