Just get a good PCMCIA card and you'll have not problems. Nate will fight me on this, but I prefer the Cisco AiroNet stuff. It's a little more pricey then others, but it's rock solid under linux. I even took my Cisco Wireless specialization course using AiroNet gear under Linux, even though Windows was "required". -- Minneapolis St. Paul Twin Cities MN | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.tcwug.org Minnesota Wireless | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
