Sure Thorn, if a link is good with 802.11b/g technology, it will be right with a new one
But the question i ask myself, is: if a link with MIMO technology is good, is it good too with the "old" (802.11b/g) technology??
You know (like me), how it's difficult to compute a link when there are walls, trees and reflections on the radio path!
In this case, calculations are rather pessimists for the diversity mode.
Then the algoritms for simulation, are wrong.
I think, that MIMO technology could be better for this kind of links. So simulation of MIMO links with obstacles, are worst, until there is no good models of simulation.
Just note: I know some simulation models for indoor, but without computing the "gain" given by the diversity mode. (they just take in account the reflexions).

sorry for the language.

you dont think like me, Thorn?
