This is to be installed on a Desktop type computer and not a laptop. I have already went thought the Release Notes, however as you will see I have had no luck. In the last two week, I have tried a two cards - Linksys WMP11, which switch from Prism to Broadcom chip - SMC 2602W, which switch from a PCMCIA Bridge base card to ADMtek 8201 chip Don't you hate companies keeping the same Model Number for totally different cards? :-( I also look at the D-LINK model, the DWL-520+ and DWL-650+ are the new counterpart of the DWL-520 and DWL-650 respective, however the new '+' model are not supported as they are also using the Broadcom chip (to my recollection) Anyway any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks Serge
