I attended the Atlanta Linux Showcase last weekend and attended a talk about 802.11 cards for Linux. I took the liberty of forwarding Brent's question on to the speaker for that talk and he asked me to forward the following response back to the list. The web site he references is http://www.absoval.com --- In response to Brent Sweeney's question.... There _is_ a driver that has been tested using the Harris PRISM reference design. This is an 802.11 Direct Sequence WLAN card. Two vendors currently using this design are Intalk (http://www.intalk.com) and Bay Networks (be careful with Bay, I think they're still selling older non-802.11 cards too). I haven't had the opportunity to directly test these cards, but the driver _should_ work. On our website, I'll be posting the latest code, instructions, and some information on compatibility between cards and firmware. Hopefully, that'll be up later today or tomorrow. Thanks for the interest! Mark

and on the subject of 802.11 wireless, does anyone know of 802.11 PCCards with drivers for Linux? We haven't been able to find any.
