Re: [SLUG] Wireless pcmcia cards

[Kevin Saenz]

yes it's a G. hmmm, when I was looking for wireless cards a guy from elx 
told me that they don't sell wireless cards because some of distributers 
seem to change chipset mid stream and not tell anyone.
hopefully the stuff I have found works ;-)

I made the same mistake. The TI drivers are out there but very alpha
with no promises of working at all well. I sold mine on to a 'doze user
and solved the cisco aironet problem that led me down the path of a
D-link 650+ (the 'G' right?).
Things may have changed in the 3 months since but I'd sell it and buy
another.  The chipset unfortunately really matters.
'Orinoco' chipsets seem to the the best supported although I got an
amtel device going well after considerable effort. 

There really needs to be a 'Powers On Linux' sticker on these gizmos.
