I've done it the other way so it should work since internally all wireless products I've seen so far containg PC Cards. Both products are certified by the Wi-Fi alliance as well. The only compatability gotcha I know of is that pre-Cisco Aironet cards appear to be in violation of the 802.11b spec and thus are non-interoperable though I haven't tested this extensivly. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
