Check out http://www.personaltelco.net/index.cgi/Prism2Card Of the three types of cards I've used, the D-Link DWL-650 antenna is fixed ($40), the Orinoco Silver is removable (about $65), and the Proxim RangeLAN-DS 8434 is removable (about $40-$60). The last card is winging its way to Warner because I haven't managed to get it to work on FreeBSD. Nice card otherwise, though. 8-) -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
