I am currently using a Proxim Harmony OEM card, works fine under SUSE 9.1, I am thinking of upgrading to a high power SMC2532W-B from Memory Express which is also supposed to be supported, it also has both internal and external antenae. Its a special order but should only take a few days. You could have my Proxima or an Octopus (TwinMoS?) card for $15 either one the proxima will only do 64bit WEP and the Octupus has realteck chipset. If that wrapper thing will work. For general compatability look at Seattle Wireless http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/HardwareComparison Graham _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
