Kevin, Thanks for that! My only point has been that if a future upgrade for the mPower etc. did not support these two cards that many, many of us would be up the creek once more, with the necessity of forking out yet more money in order to use the machine to its full potential. A new wireless card is indeed necessary to be found to work with the mPower. I just hope the old ones still will be permitted to work. Sorry about all the confusion. Kathy
