Win98SE driver installs much more cleanly for the Aeronet than the 3Com
stuff. I was evaluating both for a bit and was constantly having problems
with the 3Com side. Both worked fine in Windows 2000 Pro.
Both Access Points (APs) work great, and work fine with either card. I
think the Cisco interface is a bit more friendly than the 3Com. Also, it
supports 100mbit to the network, vs. the 3Com was only 10mbit. The cards
are of course 11mbit, but you can't possibly get that if the network
connection is only 10mbit. I don't know how much overhead the wireless
protocol has, but it seems to fly with either card/AP(of course, I only
tested with my sole laptop).
I'm thinking about buying a Linksys AP to have at home when I have to give
the Cisco AP back. Only $252 at buy.com, compared to Cisco's $700+ cost (I
know, I lose encryption, but this is at my house and I could care less, plus
I use SSH for everything except generic web access anyway).
