Hardware

Whats the word on EnGenius PCI and miniPCI cards operating at full power in the current beta?  I have a EPI-3601S 600mW PCI card on my 1.3b5 install.  The card appears to be working fine, except it doesn't seem to be any more powerful than my 63mW Atheros card.  I have it connected to a antenna with 12dBi gain, 2 foot pigtail.  This combination at full power should be good for several thousand feet line of sight.  I can barley get it in the other room.  I exchanged everything to eliminate bad hardware.  The only logical thing left would be the ath driver in m0n0wall.  I've read a lot about people using other EnGenius hardware, is there something wrong with the S-series cards?  Any ideas would be great, thanks.

I figured out the problem.  These cards (EnGenius EPI-3601S 600mW PCI) must be plugged into a PCI 3.0 slot.  They run in a reduced power mode with anything less.  I didn't measure it, but it had about the same coverage as a 63mW card I have.
