The PCI adapater from Lucent is nothing special; it's pretty much a generic PCMCIA-to-PCI adapter. I've used my WaveLAN cards with an off-the-shelf PCMCIA-to-ISA adapter w/o any problems. In fact, they worked under both Linux and Windows, which was a pleasant surprise. If you have an ISA slot available you can pick these things up cheap on eBay. The PCI ones are harder to find, but I believe they'll work just as well. You don't need anything special on your Linux box other than a current release of the PCMCIA package (which includes wavelan drivers). -- Lars -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars at larsshack.org> --> http://www.larsshack.org/ - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
