Also, you'll need to have a Wi-Fi ready notebook in order to make use of a Mini-PCI card, i.e., your notebook must have antenna leads which terminate in the mPCI bay, and you must not have another mPCI card already mounted in there (obviously). I believe these cards to be pulls (one of them bears an "HP spares" sticker, another is un-OEM-branded - simply Intel - and the other two are Toshiba OEM units), but I will test them here before shipping, just to make sure. They all bear manufacture dates between May and September, 2005. Yes, the 2200 chipset is supported by the latest GenMAC beta (1.7, or 1.07, depending upon how you read the versioning of GenMAC). I'm currently out of Cisco 350's, and the Cisco mPCI cards I have are *not* (yet) supported by GenMAC. That said, if there is sufficient demand for more Cisco 350 PCMCIA cards, I'll do my best to scare up another batch from somewhere. :-) Cheers. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
