[Ti] Super-G Turbo with Airport Extreme...

[Carbotron]

i believe it is actually an Atheros chipset you're talking about. some 
of those do a/b/g and are indeed top of the wifi food chain. the super 
G works great, but only for a few machines, and over short range. in my 
experiences, the IP device routers running super G oftentimes cannot 
handle regular B traffic and super G, it defaults all connections to 
the lower speed. a better device is a dedicated machine running netbsd 
with several interfaces of course. ymmmv, but i've seen a max of 36mbps 
duplex with super G setups. range is also an issue, though on a lot of 
the consumer grade G routers you'll see a max of 20 or so mbps, even 
with only one wifi machine running. good luck! it's good to see people 
still hacking!

OK, it can’t be done. You apparently need an Atheron based PC card to 
run
Super-G with or without the Turbo setting. Airport Extreme is not 
Atheron
based and therefore is not compatible with Super-G Turbo settings in 
some of
the most recent wireless routers.

However, I found the drivers on the Orange Micro Web site that will 
allow
Mac Users to use the Atheron cards with 802.11a/b/g/ compatibility with
Super-G Turbo settings turned on. Reported transfer speeds are supposed 
to
be well over 100Mpbs.

Now my question: Has anyone actually tried this combination? (Mac with
compatible Atheron based PC card using the Orange Micro drivers and a
Super-G compatible wireless router?)
