RE: WIFI Buy Update 1

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <tony.butler@xxxxxxx>]

Any 802.11b cards _should_ work with any 802.11b Wireless Access Point
(encrypted links aside :-))

Note I say 'should' and not 'definitely will'  :-D

These cards are what is now known as the Orinoco Silver cards, so it's
a
reasonable bet they will work.
Like I say - they are all 802.11b standard, so there _shouldn't_ be any
problems.

HTH,


Tony
