Linksys WPC11: Versions 1-3 use a Prism chipset and are PCMCIA cards. Version 4 uses a Realtek chipset and is a Cardbus card.

Linksys WPC11 Wireless Card.
Hi I apologise for asking this, as I know for a fact this question has been asked before, however when searching the archives, I am finding conflicting answers.

Thanks in advance. Mick Walker NAAFI Finance International You're better off trying to find a version 3 card. I've, personally, never been able to get a ver 4 card working. You can find them on ebay for pretty cheap. Also, if you've got any friends that use the WPC11, and have had it for a year or so, there's a good chance you could just trade with them. Push comes to shove, let me know, I might have one I can sell you. I don't have an x86 lappy anymore, but I kept the ver3 card. I love my Powerbook, so I don't think I'll need the other card any time soon. HTH ___ Eric F Crist I am so smart, S.M.R.T!
