Atheros Chipset - Works awesome with Linux, March 12, 2008
By user (Illinois)
This card uses the Atheros AR5006XS chipset, which is well supported in Linux (and Windows), and a very standard and common (for PCI cards) Reverse Polarity SMA jack (RP-SMA) - even came with a little (probably ~2dBi) omni antenna with a reasonable length cable (~4ft) but I decided to use that elsewhere. It has a maximum output of 16dBm (40mW) with 802.11b and 802.11g (more like ~18dBm on 802.11a) which while weaker than some seems to go really pretty far. That could be a result of the Atheros "XR" feature making the receive sensitivity much better than usual, and the transmit a bit cleaner (less noise = better signal). I can successfully connect to an access point 450ft (137m) away, through at least two concrete block walls, with plenty of other access points around the area "in the way". It's not the best connection ever (packet loss is noticeable, etc) but it works pretty good considering the low power, home-made cantenna, and the obstructions involved (overall, about a "12" RSSI). This card also works great with every available utility on Linux (full "monitor" mode, including those that use "injection" support). Furthermore, it didn't freak anything out when plugged into an ancient Pentium II motherboard so it doesn't require any of those newfangled PCI specs. You will probably be very pleased, especially for the price!
