We have over 70 of the SL-2511CD PLUS from senao out in the field now and
have yet to see a problem. They are quite a bit more stable then any other
card except for the Cisco/Aironet 100mw cards in my opinion. Just remember
to be very carefull about your wire length and the dbi gain on your antenna
so as not to exceed FCC specs.
