It's slow, but the Sony GC79 combo 802.11b and GSM card works okay. I
use one on T-mobile's network. 56K down, 28K up max.
GSM acts like a regular old modem to pcmcia, and you feed it odd dialing
strings that I found documented online. 802.11b is working with
ndiswrapper and the windows driver.
Someone asked me recently if I'd done any work to figure out how to get
special information out of it on the GSM side like signal strength.
Nope. Sorry. Not sure if anyone has yet or not.
