Can't say I've tested the range - but perhaps you can check the S/N
reported by iwconfig - and compare it with other users (of the a/b-g
card)

I get the following (with the a/b card and 802.11b AP):

Link Quality:50/94  (1 ft from Access Point)
Link Quality:25/94  (15 ft from AP - in the next room separated by a wall)
