Wireless is quite complicated, including extra security layers that are not needed for wired network (LAN) so DOS drivers are very rare. However, you could try small external wireless devices which connect through a LAN cable (NOT via USB) to your laptop. Not as popular as the USB WLAN sticks that you see everywhere, not even as popular as 3G / UMTS USB sticks, but available in a sufficiently dedicated computer shop, I would say :-) Note that such devices will probably need an AC power supply, so you only get comfort similar to PLC (DLAN, PowerLAN) as you still need a cable, but only to the next AC wall outlet to power your WLAN to LAN device. Eric PS: For a few old, first generation, WLAN devices, such as some old PCMCIA cards, DOS drivers actually do exist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
