There was a bit of wi-fi discussion on this list recently, and it made me want 
to go wireless myself.

I searched the various hardware vendors online, but all I seem to find are 
D-Link DWL-650+ cards, which seem to be the only reasonably-priced 802.11b 
cards imported to Israel. 

But those cards are based on TI chipset, for which exists a problematic (and 
unsupported) binary driver, and a non-mature, reversed-enginereed open source 
driver.

As I don't wish to buy a card just to find out I can't really use it, can any 
of you recommend a supported (I'm willing to use binary drivers, if no other 
alternative exists) 802.11b cardbus/PCMCIA card, along with a local vendor 
that sells it?

Is it legal to mail-order such a card from abroad? (I know that one can't 
import 900MHz phones, for example. But since there are some 802.11b devices 
being imported legally, I wonder if that opens the door for all devices 
sharing that frequency).
