Ok, then I stand corrected. > What kind of WLAN card did you pick up? Tekram PCF-200; they are apparently OEM products made by BroMax (http://www.bromax.com.tw/), based on Intersil's PrismIII reference board (http://www.intersil.com/design/prism/prismapps/). Tekram is a Taiwanese company with offices in the USA and Germany, known for SCSI adapter cards. The WLAN stuff is apparently only sold in Germany (through Atelco, http://www.atelco.de). I chose these cards because they are relatively inexpensive, plus because the WLAN PCMCIA cards based on the Prism chip set (Prism 2, 2.5, and 3) are well supported under Linux. I am using them in a Libretto 100 (and two different bigger laptops).
