Hi Peggy, As you know, the braillenote currently supports two cards, the Ambicom and the Cisco. The cisco is a pcmcia card and the ambicom is a compact flash card. The Ambicom should work in your pcmcia adaptor though according to what I've heard.
Also, the Ambicom is easier to find and also much less expensive. I got my Ambicom from amazon.com for $57. The router I have in a Linksys wireless-g broadband router. It has connectors for 4 devices with standard network cards requiring cabling and also can handle wireless. Your dsl modem will plug into an input connector on the router for that purpose. The router does not need much configuring out of the box to get it going either, although you really might want to have someone who is knowledgable about networking on call just in case. Hope this gives you something to go on. Not sure of the price for the Cisco cards, but do believe they are well over $100 new. Don On Tue, 22 Mar 2005 21:39:51 -0800, Peggy Kern wrote: Hi, guys. I'm starting to think about getting what I need to go wireless with the BN. I know I need a wireless card, and the recommended ones are on the Keysoft 6.1 site. I want to get one that I can use in the pcmcia slot, as I always have my GPS receiver plugged in, so can't really use the back slot, and don't like it as well anyway. Do any of you use your wireless cards in the side slot, with or without an adapter (which I have? Which card do you prefer for use with the side slot? I know I also need a router. What do I need to look for in a router, in order to make my BN and PC talk to each other, and so I can do net stuff wirelessly on the BN with my PC's DSL connection to the net? I've never even seen a router, so have no idea what they look like, or what I need to make sure I have or what I need to avoid. Are some more accessible than others? Any info you guys can give me to help me decide what to buy will be greatly appreciated.
