If that wasn't complicated enough, I've added:

- decent internal processor, flash and, um... non-flash memory
- effective isotropic radiated power that is close to the legal 100mW

For example, I saw a list at a certain retailer, which showed
"transmitted power" dbm number for only 1/3 of their 70+ models of
access points. I'm not sure what transmitted power means, but none of
the models went over 20dbm, which is the legal limit (=100mW). Some
had only 12dbm, which is awful (=16mW). You could put a high gain
antenna on the cheapie 12dbm model, and come out the same as a 20dbm
model.

A little knowlege is a dangerous thing.
