Subject: Re: [OS2Wireless]Re: Card Suggestions - Bridge

I'm not opposed to getting individual cards but if the $120 bridge + a switch would 
work it seems like a less messy solution with respect to tracking down specific cards 
and drivers.  Currently I don't see those card on ebay so getting ahold of a few of 
them may be problematic.  I also like that I can transfer the bridge to other 
machines without wifi cards and still hook into the network.  It adds some portablity 
to the system.
