<Sigh> Guess it's finally time to put linux on this unit since 802.1x is

Much better these days, the Sandisk unit I have is great on battery power, 
even with my prior Linksys WPC11 V3 pcmcia card, I got somewhere around 
8hours IIRC since I replaced the battery in the pccard sled with a higher

The 128mb unit is the one I have from Sandisk. However when I called them
