I was asked to check out a PC, which has a TPLINK P6E card in it.
The heatsink is bigger than some graphics cards in my junk box.
The specs give the power in terms of dBm. So I wonder how many Watts
that works out to.

thanks,
so 100 mW on one frequency and 200 mW on the other - more or less what I
expected. The heatsink seems overkill.
