Got a very used Panasonic Toughbook and put in
a hard drive and some more memory.  Loaded Win98SE
and tried two PCMIA wireless cards and a couple of USB
WiFi units.  No success at all.

The other day at the Installfest, installed Xandros and
tried my cards.  No luck.  Ed Richards came by and
stuck in his Linksys WPC11 card.  Xandros found it
and I was in business.  No luck with my other cards.

So the question arises whether I would be better off
buying a WPC11 card or spending just a little more
and getting something like the WPC54G card, also
from Linksys.   Any experience with these cards?

Linksys says both cards may be used with Win98SE,
which I need if I want to print, as our two printers are
a bit primitive in their language skills.  Since Xandros
mounts the Fat32 partitions, I can put a file to be
printed where I put documents that I may want to
print.   I like that, no text file editing to tell Linux to
mount the foreign partitions.

Choppy
