i used a pcmcia-pci bridge and an orinoco card a couple years back - worked fine except pcmcia wasn't SMP-happy so I had to run my BP6 dual celery with a UP kernel, but otherwise worked like a champ. I've heard things are much better for SMP pcmcia these days, but I haven't had a need to try it out lately. I like pcmcia wireless cards and bridges mainly because I can take the card to a laptop if I choose to, whereas dedicated cards don't give that flexibility. Not sure what the price comparisons are like these days, though :) -- James Manning <http://www.sublogic.com/james/> GPG Key fingerprint = B913 2FBD 14A9 CE18 B2B7 9C8E A0BF B026 EEBB F6E4 _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ: http://www.trilug.org/faq/TriLUG-faq.html
