Airlink101 Powerline Ethernet Adapter APL8511

These units show up on sale at Fry's Electronics from time to time. I
bought some yesterday to try out after doing some research on the
Internet. Not much in the way of information. I bought two units.
Tested them. They did not work.

I upgraded the firmware to rev 1.6 on both units. Tried them, no
joy.

I moved both units in to the same room, tested, and the units seem to
be working. If you visit http://groups.google.com and search for the
text string AIRLINK101 POWERLINE, you will find a nice little
explanation of home wiring and why you may or may not be able to use
these units in your house. As far as I can tell, results are random.
I'm going to do some more testing later, but for now, I can't use the
units to connect my downstairs network to my upstairs computing
equipment.

problem with using PowerLine Ethernet.
