I will repeat again... (I've actually done this a few times) Netgear MA401 Works like a Charm. It's aPrism II Chipset. loades the Orinico_cs drivers for Redhat 9. It's a 16bit card. Frankly, what's the difference between the 16bit and the 32 bit cards anyway? it's 802.11b..11Mbps so.. unless you're getting the 802.11g 54mpbs then maybe a 32bit is needed. (correct me if I'm wrong) However, I think frequency hopping is not configurable.. anyone knows how to see what channel the card's on? I can manually set it using the redhat-config-network but everytime I activate it it says.."Set Frequency not supported" Cheers, Mun Heng, Ow H/M Engineering Western Digital M'sia DID : 03-7870 5168 -----Original Message----- From: James Allman [mailto:james@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 1:43 AM To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: 802.11b Wireless PCMCIA Card Reccomendation Wanted On Sun, 2003-10-05 at 10:58, Robert L Cochran wrote: > Is there an 802.11b wireless PCMCIA (32 bit cardbus) network adapter > that will work 'out of the box' that I can buy right now (without any > chipset problems to worry about, I mean)? I've got an Orinoco Gold 802.11b card. It's truly plug and play under Red Hat 9. http://www.proxim.com/products/wifi/client/11bpccard/index.html I've heard the Netgear MA401 works as well but I don't have any experience with it. They key is the Prism chipset.
