You mean 802.11b, right?
The note with the card said, "do not operate
closer than 2.5" to your skin
for extended periods of time." No definition of 'extended' as far as I
could tell. Now the microwave is 500 - 750 watts I believe and this thing
is less than 2 so we're not talking about roasting here.
The FDA has established microwave radiation exposure levels greater than
5mw/cm2 to be dangerous. The cards emit max about 200mw. I don't
remember how that drops off with distance (drops off with distance^2,
doesn't it?).
