While I don't have any Crusoes, I have several machines, ranging from Pentiums running at 200 MHz to Pentium IIIs running at 933 MHz, with AR5212 cards in them. They run 7.0-, 7.1-, and 7.2-RELEASE. While I do get some "stuck beacon" and "device timeout" messages on them, they can all push at least 2 MB/s on the AR5212 cards, and I am assuming that your Crusoe is faster than a Pentium 200. -BorisReceived on Wed May 20 2009 - 21:44:15 UTC
