Most cards use the Prism2 chipset, and are mostly alike... I recommend the lucent/agere orinoco cards, since they are very standard and most-used. Usually it's just insert and pump to get it working. I myself just got the silver world card, since it was cheapest, and no matter what version you have (silver/gold) both the crypto's used are too weak, so you should only use ipsec or other crypto over them. -- Mark Janssen Unix / Linux, Open-Source and Internet Consultant @ SyConOS IT E-mail: mark(at)markjanssen.nl / maniac(at)maniac.nl GnuPG Key Id: 357D2178 Web: Maniac.nl Unix-God.[Net|Org] MarkJanssen.[com|net|org|nl] SyConOS.[com|nl] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
