Since Apple won't replace the range of serial numbers my ABS falls in, it is likely I'll have to replace it. My card inventory is an Orinoco Silver, and a Linksys WPC11, and the actual hosts are a battered but still ticking Sony 505tx, and an IBM T30, running -STABLE, win98, and Debian 3.0. I used the ABS plus wireless NIC to work where ever in my house my kids are fond of that day (sometimes even my office). So, recommendations please. Off-list is usually better than on, and I can summarize to the curious-also-clueless. Oh, the rest of my kit is -CURRENT, but all wire-line. TiA, Eric
