the AP will turn into a black hole and suck the con into an alternate dimension of soberness and bridge playing...thus dooming us all!

I was thinking of running HyperOS and assigning one wireless card to each OS that I run, that could really be interesting....

My hat off to you if you get 44 Mbs or even 33 Mbs working on your computer....

How about if I get a whole bunch of USB 2.0 extensions, like the ones with 4 ports on them, and I can chain, oh, say 10 of them together, making 30 ports available, and add an 802.11b 11mbps device to each vacant USB port....


...I can approach T1 speeds before I hit my USB device limit. Definitely sounds like an experiment!

Just 1 card will give you T1 (~1.5Mbs) speeds.... you mean DS3 (~43.2 Mbs)... easy mistake... Yes this does sound like a great experiment... What OS are you planning on running this on? With speeds hitting around DS3, I had computer/router running FreeBSD/ Zebra on a 1 Gig CPU (Intel PIII) i386 platform with a single DS3 card, plus 3 10/100 NIC's I encountered a problem with interupts. I was pushing only 25 Mbs and would lock up (hardware wise) without warning. That was also a fun experiment on a production network. (My customers hated me for a week until my Cisco was replaced.)

what wifi card are you using?!

[astcell]

Yup you got me there, I messed up on the speeds. I was thinking of 100mbps speeds! I guess I would be making a RANC: Redundant Array of Network Cards!

I use either Cisco Aironet 350 or Lucent Orinoco. I average, depending on number of people on AP, 3-5 Mbs

see, now i'm gettin all confused. T1 should be in the range of megaBYTES per second, while wifi would be in the range of megaBITS per second.....
where am i reading all this wrong.....?

I see T1 as 1.536Mbps, I see that as bits, a capital B would be bytes, no?

Yup that is exact... It's funny how ppl think T1 is fast! T1 = FUCKING SLOW!!! It's not elite anymore to have a T1!:D

Btw if you get 4 wifi card in your computer it will only mean you will have 4 wifi card that will be sharing 11mbit/s instead of 1 card sharing 11mbit/s

Don't forget that wifi is't switched! A access point have a limit or 11mbit/s for all it's client... So if there is 20 card on the same AP talking at the same time it's a shared 11mbit/s...
And with usual lost.. well it's just fucking SLOW...

Maybe I can use a different browser on each card.

[KeLviN]

just have a different ap for every card.
