Steve, thanks for this info. I am trying to research these options and so far I've found that the MacWireless PCICard solution would cost me about $130 (msrp) and I am having trouble finding prices on the "skyline" cards. I was able to deduce that you were suggesting the Proxim brand "skyline" family, but did Proxim rebrand this stuff as "orinico"? Because that is all that is showing up on their online reseller links...its a bit confusing. It looks like for $20 I could use my linksys PC card (using the IOExperts driver)...in a PCMCIA compatible powerbook :-/ but since I need the PCI adapter part of the puzzle, I am looking at a pretty pricey project here. The USB version is attractive, but I do not yet have USB in my 8500 and didn't really have plans to add it. So, to sum up...thanks for the info, at least now I can plan AND is "orinoco" the product family formerly known as "skyline"?
