They both work with the wi driver and both work with the BSD Airtools. I seem to remember someone saying recently on the list that newer wpc11 cards are no longer compatible, but I may be thinking of something else. I would definitely recommend both of these cards. The Belkin was only 39.99 with free PCI adapter at Office Max a couple months back. It looks like they have the same special every couple of weeks though if you are a little patient. -mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
