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. > Media: > PCI Yes > PCMCIA Yes > USB Haven't tried one yet. I hope they work, that would make networking even itty bitty boxes pretty easy. > OS: > FreeBSD 4.7 Well, 4.8 now, but it was 4.7 for a while. > > Recomendations please 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! -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
