When I've looked at this before, wireless cards for PCs are hard to come by and expensive. What you wind up with is actually a one-card PCMCIA slot and a normal PCMCIA 802.11 card. I've found it easier and cheaper to build a small wired network, which includes the 802.11 access point, and then run laptops (which already have PCMCIA and/or built-in 802.11) off of that. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
