Welcome to IWETHEY!

New You gotta realise that 802.11x
doesn't address the issue of what's in the card at all, any more than there can be a generic driver for any AC97 sound chip. It just addresses the issue of the communication between the nic and the base station.

Each model of card (or at least each chipset) will still require an individual driver for it.

If you want, Derek has a 1800 number you can call, and he's definitely one of the good guys. Give him a shout and explain what you're looking for and maybe he'll have it or some advice on where to get it.

I thought you were looking for a pcmcia card, not one for a desktop...

New In the best of all worlds, both.
One for my laptop, one for my eCS workstation, which is now out of storage (yay!). I've come up with a potential workaround -- Linksys sells this thing which "converts" a standard ethernet card to a by-God-wireless just by plugging an ethernet cable into it, which would allow me to use relatively short ethernet cable and not have to worry about threading it all over creation.

New Linksys product link?
Which one is that? That sounds like an ideal solution to the issue.
