Different ones. At least it works for me. Relevant bits of my set up are a Netgear ME102 access point, a Fujitsu Siemens S Series Lifebook with a MA401, and a Sharp Zaurus with a Linksys CF card. With the ME102 configured to accept both Open and WEP security, the MA401RA works like a charm under FreeBSD. With the ME102 configured to accept only WEP security, the MA401RA can obviously see the access point, but can't transmit. Under Windows 98 (spit) the MA401RA can't transmit with either of the above variations. This might be due to Windows crashing when I was installing the drivers. I installed again, but am not convinced that all is well. Time perhaps to upgrade to Windows 2000 Professional or XP. The Zaurus / Linksys work happily with both variations.
