The particular wireless cards which work well on the BN MPower are not manufactured specifically for the MPower. These cards are probably being discontinued because, as far as I know, they are an old model. They've been recommending the aironet stuff for years. It doesn't surprise me that they'd discontinue last year's model, or the model of several years ago. The unfortunate thing about adapted computer products is that they are often built on a platform which is, before long, improved upon, but the accessability technology community cannot afford to improve and change as quickly as the mainstream does. So, our equipment was built to work with these cards while the mainstream moves away, we are still using the technology which is tried and true.
My suggestion is that you look for these items on ebay ETC. they won't be gone, they just won't continue to be manufactured.

Why are manufacturers planning to discontinue them when there's loads of new and upcoming Braillenote MPower users? Are Humanware deciding to build wi-fi right in to the product or something? Anyway thanks for the thoughts. Slight correction: It's my college, which is based in Herdeford, where I had the access centre, and it's them doing the research. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Lingard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 5:36 PM Subject: [Braillenote] Accessory Cards For Mpower > Ottawa Canada > > Dear Chris: > > That is a good idea, having the university's access centre research > what type of network the university has and get back to you. > > Even if you have to buy it yourself, the wireless card for the Mpower > is a good investment as the manufacturer is planning to discontinue > them in the foreseeable future. > > Take care and bet you're really forward to getting your new Mpower. > > Brian > > -- > No virus found in this outgoing message. > Checked by AVG Free Edition. > Version: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.11.7/434 - Release Date: > 30/08/2006 > > > > > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote > > ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
