It really depends on the country you are in as someone has already mentioned. The URL below is for one of my clients. They are based in Australia and know the Australian regulations very well. They do not claim to be experts on radio regulations for other countries, but I am sure that they will be happy to sell the equipment by mail order to any country on the understanding that the purchaser will ensure that it is used in a legal fashion. Dycom is a client of mine, but they didn't ask me to write this. ;) http://www.dycom.com.au/ I've used WaveLAN in Linux machines. The ISA cards worked perfectly, the PCMCIA cards only worked for receive not transmit. However it's been a while since I played with them and the bugs have probably been fixed (the PCMCIA card that didn't work under Linux worked under Windows). -- Electronic information tampers with your soul.
