Hmm, 30mW or even 100mW is normal spec, 400mW is likely a bit close to
illegal here, though there's a 200mW CE version, which may do the extra
European channels too, and with less power consumption .. I'll enquire.

Thanks for the info; I found the .au distributor there and will check
them out.  So far I've been leaning toward the Proxim/Orinoco cards
though they're b/g only, and expensive! .. these ones indeed have two
antenna connectors which (I think) is necessary to do 802.11a.
