Okey, I guess I'm sold on the WaveLAN Gold, then. I haven't
heard anything bad about it,

I first decided to run a benchmark based on a comment that some of the 10/100 cards are really 10. The main difference is that the non-cardbus PCMCIA cards are 16 bit cards and the cardbus cards are 32 bit. I used the ttcp utility to perform my benchmarks. The benchmarks were all done using Lin

Huh. Spurred by this message, I did a little testing of my own.
My 3Com 3C574-TX 10/100 PCMCIA wouldn't push through much faster

FWIW, I just setup a 3Com AirConnect (3CRWE737A) Wireless LAN card in my
thinkpad (Linux only). It works with the Spectrum24t driver (not included
in the regular pcmcia-cs distribution, you have to grab the driver from
the contrib
directory: ftp://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/pub/pcmcia-cs/contrib/)

On ibuyer.net, it looks like you can get it for about $150. However, their
basestation+card is something like $800. We use this at work due to its
quality and the fact that they buy it. :)
At home, I'm using the apple basestation which is compatible and only costs
$300 at compusa.

How much did this cost? I'd love to get wireless at home!
Thanks,.

I recently did some benchmarks. The 16 bit non-cardbus PCMCIA cards
will not exceed 10 Mbps. Make sure you get the cardbus versions. I got
a Linksys PCMP100 10/100 card and the best it would benchmark was
well under 10Mbps (through a switch to a Linksys 10/100 PCI card). I
returned the card an

The last place I worked had about 15 mobile users, some with dongles, some

I love my Lucent 11Mb wireless pcmcia card. Works like a charm in both windows
and linux. I'm even using it at home with an apple basestation. It does stick
out a little from my laptop, so I do have to be careful. However, it sure does
beat having to dangle a 100' 10baseT cable around the hou
Greetings.. Time once again to call upon the accumulated wisdom..
I'm looking to get some PCMCIA network cards: 10/100 cable,
and 11Mb wireless.
Does anyone have any success/horror stories about particular
wireless cards? Such as 'problems w/Linux,' or 'sensitive to
heat,' or 'has funky antenn
