Hello Dean, Thank you for your reply and an explanation of wireless card compatibility. I guess then it's off to buy the Ambicom wireless card then for me.<smile>
Thanks again for your reply, Beth -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Jackson Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2005 4:37 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Wireless Card Alternatives Hello Beth, Cards other than those we have tested, are not very likely to work. The reason behind this is that the appropriate drivers for the card have to be installed in the image to work. The cards that are rated at a higher connection speed will comply with a later Wifi standard - one that we weren't able to support at the time of product Development due to technical limitations. However, this wwill not make any difference to the data rate that you receive on the internet, as a typical connection is usually rated at less than 10 mbits. Where you would see the difference is on the speed of internal file transfers, though the other networked device to which you would be connected, would have to also be capable of supporting those super speeds.
