I think that it depends on the card that's being used. I don't know the xe driver well enough to know if its attempts to enable both sides of the house is successful or not. : hmm, I just looked and I see a bunch for under $100..some don't specify : the model but they look exactly like mine. You have the REM56G-100? There's lots of different models. To me "cheap" is under $30.00 :-). I have only a little bit of money that I can spend on acquiring these cards so have been trying like heck to get all cards < $30. I've found a few 3com ones cheap because they don't have all the dongles. They were for models that I knew my other dongles would work for... Of course I've just finished getting the 3com/megahertz cards. I have some NE2000 ones, but have started looking for more. I'll also be looking for fujitsu cards and xircom cards next. It takes a while to discover what cards are key to getting good coverage. It also takes time to find a good deal. There's a lot of overpriced folks selling pulls for more than the other auctions are getting.
