Jared (and everyone else that responded to my question)
Thank you very much for your input. My employers are rolling out a LEAP encrypted wireless network at my workplace, and although the Cisco 350 card is good, I would prefer to have choices. Since I cant change the type of authentication used, I will look into the 3com card in addition to the other cards mentioned (HP, etc.). thank you stone I will update the group to success/failure if I get a chance to test any of these cards.
