Thats what i thought.

In my experience of wireless the trouble is usually caused by driver problems for one of the cards or interference from someone elses AP. As long as you know how to overcome those problems everything else falls into place. Ive had problems mixing hardware before but as long as everything is kept the same then it usually all works.

Im about to buy another AP for our home network so that it can reach the sitting room downstairs which is on the opposite side of the house. Ordinarily i shouldnt need 2 APs in a house but seemingly our walls contain lead and the signal is too weak.

It was more the 'huge huge' networks i was interested in. Surely this technology has come so far now that the 'omg omg i dont know why it wont work' problems of yesteryear have been mostly fixed and with WPA etc security is no longer a huge issue.
