I liked the Intel option but the 2011 card is discontinued. I also liked the Linksys option but I'm reading about some of the newer firmwares not being supported (>2.0?). Can anyone recommend a nice little PCMCIA 802.11b card that works with WEP and is supported in 5.x? Also how can I tell the firmware version on the Linksys WPC11 cards? I'm looking at one right now and it looks like I'd have to plug it in to get the firmware version (not my card though so I can't buy/keep it if it's supported anyway...). ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- Emo is what happens when the glee club goes punk. ----------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
