placement of 3 cards on a PC box

[Christopher Dobbs]

Having done this before, If you use external antani and locate the 
antani about 3ft from eachother, it works most of the time.

My config was:
3 x 100mW PCMCIA PRISM2.5 Cards (on Channels 1,4,10 each at 2mbit)
HostAP v0.0.1
Costom AP Server Program

Contact me off list for more information.
