FWIW, I have a D-Link (IIRC) WiFi PCMCIA card in my work computer, running XP. I cannot boot the computer with the card plugged in. It will crash every time. However, if I plug it in after booting, it works fine. On the other hand, my ThinkPad works fine with both the original Prism and replacement Intel WiFi cards in Linux. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
