This is the third and final time I'm going to say this: if it has a PCMCIA slot, any PCMCIA 802.11 card will work under any reasonable OS. There MAY be some way in software that they've locked out wireless-providing PCMCIA cards under Windows, but I don't think that's even technically practical, if possible at all (you'd have to know all the industry- defined vendor tags and vendor-defined device tags published across the PCMCIA bridge, and as soon as something new came out you'd have to catalog it and force feed an update to your users). I can't help you further than that. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
