You might have to paste this into your browser.  Like all emerging
technologies, it's a moving target.  Linux support information may require
some digging.  Some of the SNMP utilities are Win-based, which may be
problematic if your AP is remotely located on the network.

FWIW, I know of a couple DWL-900AP's shooting 1Mb 8.1 miles LOS.  But these
have been superseded by the 900AP+ (lower tx power potential;^( ).

YMMV
