Don't have any.

I have a NetGear MA401RA and a NetGear MR814 Router/Firewall/Access Point.
They work quite well together. I also have a Lucent Orinoco Silver PCCard
and a Belkin F5D6020 PCCard. I don't use the Belkin much because my
battery life is noticeably shorter than with the NetGear card.
I have an Aironet 320 PCI card, but it's currently shelved. It was my
access to the Internet for 2+ years, until November 2002. Flawless.

Haven't tried one yet. I hope they work, that would make networking even
itty bitty boxes pretty easy.

The other node on my wireless network at home is a Sharp Zaurus PDA
running Linux. It has an AmbiCom CF 802.11b card that was recognized and
came up the first try with no futzing. Now I just need to get a
SmartDigital memory card so I have enough storage space to sync my CRAZY
mail inbox onto it. Augh!
