Morning peeps,

I've been discussing this with a friend of mine that currently runs an 802.11g router under Gentoo, but he's not totally sure of whether the same will apply here.

I have in my hands a KCorp KLG-575 Gold router using the 802.11g+ standard (capable of 108mbps (theoritically) via Frame Bursting to channels 5 & 6) and want to use this on my machine when I finally rebuild into Slackware. However I'm not completely sure whether or not the drivers are the sole reason for being able to boost the transfer rate up to 108mbps or whether its the actual hardware.

I have a feeling that its gunna be the hardware and not drivers in this instance because of the channel bonding involved. Does anybody have any experience with them?

I'm not particularly worried about the drivers under Linux as I can either use the MadWIFI stuff from SF.net (currently use that with the Orinoco Gold cards that my company uses for Wireless Security) or failing that, I can fall back and use NDISWrapper with the windows drivers. The actual card, is an Atheros based chipset, which is known to be slightly tricky under Linux (from my experience with the Orinoco's anyway)

Anybody have any opinions of this please?

Cheers
Dino
