Broadcom Accuses Atheros Of WiFi Pollution
eggboard writes "We just posted a story at PC World about 802.11g chipmaker Broadcom's claims that the high-speed 108 Mbps mode available in rival Atheros's AR5004G chipset disrupts all nearby Wi-Fi networks. The Turbo mode, part of Atheros Super G, uses two Wi-Fi channels (5 and 6) to double bandwidth, but Broadcom says this can lead to 'an enormous degradation in the speed of nearby 802.11b and 802.11g networks.'. D-Link and NetGear are shipping Super G-based devices. If Broadcom is right, Atheros gear would pollute neighbors' networks. If wrong, they're putting out a pretty heavy marketing smokescreen just before Comdex - where Broadcom says they'll be demonstrating the Atheros problem."
I think so. I'm also pretty sure the GNAA has to approve it. The GNAA is gain political power in this country every day. Keep that in mind.
It's true, they have the highest prices and they're bankrupt. The poor school district with their distribution center is short a HALF MILLION from them not paying their taxes. They are laying off teachers. BIG BEAR MOVES OUT OF COLUMBUS!!! PEN TRAFFIC!!!!! READ MORE HERE

kind of LIEk va lairIE/robbIE's stuff that matters slowgun? participation buy omission?
you won't be needing any phonIE corepirate nazi FUDgePacking devices/?pr? ?firm? hypenosys
that's right, this stuff is unbreakable, wwworks on several (more than 3) dimensions, & the signal is always crystal clear.
'big science' will have to 'discover' it's conscience before it can tap into this stuff.
Two programs got the nod, so far. The top priority is planet/population rescue. Other goals mandated include the permanent disempowerment of unprecedented evile, & assurance that the planet/population is around to enjoy the gnu millennium of open/honest communications/commerce. Your grandchildren will survive to produce additional uses for the powers that are rescuing us from the greed/fear/ego based life0cide, as the lights come up...
consult with/trust in yOUR creator... get ready to see the light. there's never a cover charge/subscription fee. see you there? tell 'em robbIE?
even more corepirate nazi schemes eXPosed?
& what dispositions are to be considered for the felonious payper liesense softwar gangsters as they are rendered invalid, & more&more of their phonIE stock markup scams are known? maybe they'll 'release' linus, & put fuddles et ALL, in prison.
then, let's say fuddles IS the greed/fear/ego based massturdmined softwar gangster bankrolling the phonIE ?pr? ?firm? scriptdead attacks on the hobbyist dogooders. can we say fud wants more, has a conscience deficit, & no regard for the public/his hostages? we could easily say that.
talk about fauxking wags?
nothing gnu about this phonIE ?pr? ?firm? softwar gangster scriptdead crud:

Worse than that, Broadcom is likely responsible for using Linux and not releasing their modifications to the source code to those who have purchased the product (a base station) containing the GPLed code. So on top of Broadcom playing a marketing game, we have more reason to hate them.
I suspect that Broadcom's network interface module wasn't written right, and rather than be a complete non-depending piece of code, it depends on something that's been GPLed or is part of the kernel itself, and that would mean that it too would have to be GPL. If it is GPLed, then Broadcom would be releasing specifications on their devices that they don't want us to have, and we wouldn't have to pay for the base station anymore, just for the card...
Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
how do you know they only last a minute, HOMOTRON?
I just realized that GWB's administration must have held back their most outrageous policies since GWB will have to run for the second term.
They've already destroyed our economy and international relations. Our sons are fighting a guerilla insurrection in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What are these idiots going to get us into if/when they get the second term?! I can't bear to think about it...
