The first step is probably getting a card into someone's hands. I'd say ambrisko@ambrisko.com would the best choice followed by Warner. What kind of laptop is this? It might be possiable for a sufficently motivated person to order one of these cards as spairs from the manufacture. > I don't know how different the mini-pci card is from the pci and > pcmcia versions that work with the an driver.

It's remotly possiable they use a PLX chip, but that doesn't seem likely, especialy since it's got a brand new FCC ID. I've put in a query to our Cisco rep about them, but there's a good chance the answer won't be all the useful. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
