can I turn on RTS/CTS on 1470 wireless card

Question

Hi, Here I have a question about Dell wireless 1470 mini PCI card, which I plan to purchase with Inspiron 1300 laptops. We have a particular need that we can change the 'RTS Threshold' property of the wireless card. We have several Dell 1450 USB wireless cards, which have this capability. I hope some one can help me out if it is possible to set this property. OS: Windonws XP Professional PC: Inspiron 1300 Wirless Card: Dell 1470 MiniPCI To check it, please go to the property page of the network card and then select General->configure... and finally choose advanced tab. If the property can be set, you will see 'RTS Threshold' listed in the Preperty with default value 2347. BTW, anyone know what chipset 1470 is using? Thanks. Yong
