PCMCIA to usb reader for a WiFi card
Hi eveyone, i am writing because i had somehow received a dwl-650 pcmcia wifi adapter as a present. My ibook has no pcmcia slots so i was wondering: is it somehow possible to find a pcmcia to usb/firewire converter? My idea was: i connect the ibook via usb or firewire to this external pcmcia reader, i then connect the pcmcia card to the reader and i get an external usb wireless interface to use with the madwifi-ng drivers. Do you think it is fasible? Do you see any problems? Anyone has ever tryied something like this before? thanks, bye -- Andrea Lusuardi aka UoVoBW Registered Linux User #364578 http://uovobw.homelinux.org There's no place I can be Since I found Serenity But you can't take the sky from me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Anyone has ever tryied something like this before? which ibook model do you have? if you have a new ibook you have AirportExtreme card... if you have a old iBook you can find a not easy pcmcia slot under keyboard anyway I know that use CNet Wireless-G USB Dongle with Linux but the driver have some problem with Linux/ppc I do know if exists the adapter you want Alessandro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
