Based on my positive experience at LISA this year, I had planned on buying the lucent cards, which I was positive I could get working, at $200 apiece. However, a linux-centric friend of mine is considering buying a much cheaper solution, the WebGear Aviator 2.4 pcmcia/isa kit. It comes with 2 pcmcia cards, and 2 pcmcia/isa bridges. Drivers for linux appear to be under http://world.std.com/~corey/raylink.html. The entire kit is $139, so even though it's much slower, it appears to be a much better deal. Has anyone had any experience with these cards? They claim to be 802.11, but I don't know if that means they'll work with the regular wi drivers, or what. Any tips? -- My hair is a gateway drug.
