How come only two wireless cards are supported under 6.1? I thought I heard you mention on a Main Menu interview you were using some sort of Sandisk wireless/compact flash memory card on the PK. Is the standard BN that much harder to get support for more wireless cards than the two mentioned on the PDI site?
