Now ideally I would like to buy an official IBM PCMCIA wireless NIC [the 31P9101 11a/b/g Wireless CardBus Adapter to be specific] see: http://www5.pc.ibm.com/uk/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_31P9101?OpenDocument anyway! I can't find any white papers or anything techie about this card in order to determine its chip-set and thus support [or lack of] by FreeBSD. Does it use the same chip-set as the already supported "IBM High Rate Wireless LAN PC Card"? [which is runing on the Mini-PCI bus] Has anyone else tried either of these cards? If so what where the results? Any help would be greatly appreciated as everything else on this machine works so well apart from this - it would be great to get wireless networking up and running too!

I worked on a project developing a PCI-X card a couple of years ago and we ran these cards in 64-bit, 3.3v, 66MHz PCI slots for most all of our testing (except when performance was being measured). Consequently, I would argue that Stephen is correct in that a PCI card should fit into a PCI-X slot so long as the PCI card is 3.3v compatible (keyway is in the right place).
