I had to use -current to install onto my Dell Inspiron 7000. The 3Com card that I tried first was Cardbus, and will not work. I changed to a Linksys EC2T 10 meg card, and everything has been fine. I've also used this unit with an Aironet wireless ethernet card. -- j. James FitzGibbon james@targetnet.com Targetnet.com Inc.
