David,

This is unfortunate, because the old PRISM chipset is supposed to work. Is
your Intalk ST-500 older than the Intalk ST-500A, or are they the same
thing?

Here are other cards that might work:

The Aironet PC4500
Samsung's SWL-1000
Nortel Networks BayStack 660 Wireless LAN PC Card
No Wires Needed's Swallow 550 PC-Card
MaxTech Corp.'s LANescape XWL430 Wireless LAN PC Card

If anyone has one of these, could you check whether these work with today's
802.11b APs?

Thanks,
Marc
