Jon: You are so right! I've also noticed the tendency from manufactureres to making a product work primarily with other products of the same ilk. I've also noticed making new equipment less feature-rich in order to get the customer to buy more stuff.
Examples: 1. The D-Link 900+ AP is supposed to be a great wireless repeater. I got one cheap. I have never gotten it to recognize anything but another D-Link. I've been told it should. An hour of tweaking for each attempt... 2. I went out to buy a PCI adapter today. The prices have come down which is nice, but what I really wanted was one of the "old-time" models that included a fully working PCMCIA card as part of the deal. That way you could use the card the way you wanted. BTW, I took the USB dongle over another wireless solution because it seems cleanest for a small PC (front mounting, low power consumption, no need for PCI slot, no sacrificing of sole PCMCIA or CF slot).
