Searching for "WaveLAN" at a catalog site shows (prices are in US$):

         LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES
         WaveLAN Turbo 11Mbps Wireless
         PC Card Silver; WEP
         $159.95


         LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES
         WaveLAN Turbo 11Mbps Wireless
         PC Card Gold; 128RC4
         $176.95


          LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES
         WaveLan Wireless Bronze PC Card
         *While Supplies Last
         $235


         LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES
         WaveLAN IEEE Bronze PC Card
         *Special Order
         $239.95

Could someone explain the differences between these?  Is the first one the 
same as what is being offered?  If so, it appears to be cheaper to buy it 
in the US.
