Re: Wireless PCMCIA

[MB <sparkynine@yahoo.com>]

If all you need is 802.11b ( 11Mb ) , then I would definitely look for 
one of the older (classic) orinoco/avaya/dell1150/proxim cards.  They 
have an external antenna connector as well as an internal 2.2 dBi 
antenna.  And they are VERY well supported under linux.  You can also 
get them in a mini-pci form factor.

If you want 802.11g or 802.11a, then I am not sure what is supported.... 
I simply use 802.11b because internet connections are rarely more than 
1.5Mb.  802.11g is just overkill for internet speed applications.
