enjoy.
What about 802.11g ? Any Joy? any brand? any body? I just bought a Linksys WPC55AG PCMCIA card and WAP55AG access point (they are both 802.11a/g, and also support 802.11b). I am using the "madwifi" driver (I could not get the vt_ar5k driver to talk to the card, it uses the Atheros 5212 chipset). I can hotplug the card and get connected immediately on the 802.11g band, but have had no success with the 802.11a band as yet. I dod connect to a public hotspot on the "a" band though, so I know the card works. I just have to get it going under Winbloze to get support from Linksys on why the "a" band doesn't work on their AP. Mark Almeida --- Powered by SuSE Linux Pro 8.2/Kmail 1.5.3
