Apparently, I was wrong in saying that the original AirPort card from Apple would fit a PCMCIA slot. Someone mentioned that they are cardbus cards, this I don't know. The point is, even if you could put one in one of your PCMCIA slot, it would still not work since the genuine AirPort cards from Apple need an external antenna. On a Macintosh that has an internal AirPort slot, there is also a little wire connected to an antenna inside the case of the said Macintosh. You put the card in its slot, connect the wire et voilą! Now, in your case, you need a card similar to the Lucent Wavelan card. I had an ORiNOCO branded card which was just a Wavelan rebranded. Other listers have also mentioned other cards. These cards were designed to be use in a PCMCIA slot and they have a built-in antenna. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] coaster n.: 1.
