[mythtv-users] OT: wireless 802.11g pci suggestions

[Travis Kelley]

I went with an all dlink setup.  di-624 router gwl-650 pcmcia and dwl520
pci card.  All boxes are gentoo and all these seem to work fine.  I can
watch all my myth stuff from any box in the house with no problem.  I
can't use turbo mode (108 mb) because someone close to me has another
access point on the same channel and it just causes to much
interference.  54mb is fine though.
