[Voyage-linux] Re: Ubiquiti Super Range 9 SR9 900MHz miniPCI on Voyage

[Dean Franks]

Solomon,

I have not used the SR9, but I have had good luck with the XR9 cards.  They
appear to be very static sensitive so take the proper precautions when
handling the cards.

Stock Voyage 5.1 and madwifi worked well.

Also be aware that the SR9 cards will not communicate with the XR9s.

We have since switched to XR5s.  Our application is clear LOS and antenna
gain at 5ghz is much easier to achieve than at 900mhz (and gain beats power
every time).
