Have a huge amunt of wifi equipment! Some of us can get this stuff really cheaply in the UK. Have a Cisco 340 Aironet station and two cards An Apple Graphite Base station An Enterasys card A Proxim Skline card A WaveLAN card all with driver CD's The whole lot has cost the equivalent of about $180 Also I've just managed to load OS 8.6 on to the PB540C successfully thanks to a website at http://seth.mattinen.org which was full of really useful tips.
