i don't know if this really addresses your situation, but my laptop continually moves between home and office. at the office, my pcmcia card is a standard 3com ethernet adapter. at home, i use a proxim symphony wireless card. pcmcia-cs handles everything for me. i just plug in the card, fire up the box, and i'm good to go. -- steve ***** linux : http://exitwound.org mozart: http://mozart.sourceforge.net buck : http://www.BuckOwensFan.com *****
