(the intel pccards are a whole other ballgame by themselves) I'm only using them in windows ME, if fact the only one I am depending on is hanging from the rafters in a laptop that drives a projector, so I really haven't even load tested it. One thing that I did "have" to do was erease the WaveLan driver so that it would recognize the Intel card. Seems that there must be some similarity there, just not enough for it to work. With my laptop (current) I still get a hang on telnet and on webpages. I sent a short mail with no problem:-( I don't understand. I login in and it tells me when my last login was and hangs:-( I just unplug the Intel and plugin an airport or my old InTalk 2Mb AP and it works fine. The IP doesn't even change.(DHCP from internal server) I'm going to let it rest and try to think:-) BTW, have you tried these as a point to [multi]point bridge?
