Yes. I try very hard to make sure that all the wireless cards I have
always work. I'll send you email off list.
However, for the IBM Lan Entry cards I have, that's not an option
because they are so old (and undocumented). The webgear Raylink cards
also suffer from neglect because I don't have a FS base station. The
cnw based cards probe, but I don't check to see if they work.
All the other wireless cards that I have do work, except I think I
broke awi in NEWCARD.
