Anyone have experience with the Symbol Spectrum24 HR[0] cards?  The
Linux Wireless Extensions page sounds generally quite positive and the
driver seems quite complete (heck, it's got a good man page - when was
the last time you saw that).  I've heard a few positive comments and
they seem to be going after the same high-end market Lucent once did
with features like an antenna connector, decent multicast support, a
Kerberos v5 based security scheme[1], and reasonable power.
