Hi Bob. I beleave the DS in the card discription is marketing fluff. If you look back at the Lucent advertising they were using all sorts of words like Turbo, High Rate, ect.
The card is a OEM Version of the Lucent WaveLan. It is available with 64WEP and 128WEP The one you want will say the following part number on back. CSICD-AA-128. That has the FCC channels in it with 128 WEP. Others are available for Europe, Japan, ect. Here are some links about the card. ------------------------------------------ For the Cabletron/Enterasys RoamAbout 16-Bit PC Card http://www.enterasys.com/software/RoamAbout/CSIxD/mac/ Supports OS 7.5.2 through 9 on PowerBooks 190, 1400, 2400, 3400, 5300, G3 & G4 series.
