these cards do not sound at all compatible with the DEC RoamAbouts (nee 
WaveLan) that I've used in the past.  The RoamAbouts do not have a concept 
of a "Cell Leader", which these cards need.  Still, these would be great 
for around the house.

Have you found any leads on programming documentation for these cards or
what chipsets they're based on?  They'd be fun to play with at $30 a pop
if they was any chance of making them work.

Ken Key
