Gary,
Another idea hit my head (whoah! I got a couple of those today ;-). Did
the professors say if they knew that the Linksys card did this only in Linux
or Windows too. If it's a losy card in both Windows and Linux - then it's
definately isn't too useful. Really, no matter what it would be nice if it
worked in Linux, with Magellan on the horizon, I may finally move all of my
stuff over to Linux. If only the NIC had been built in my laptop...
