Oggetto: [OS2Wireless] Belkin F5D6020 802.11b PCMCIA FREE after rebate

Could some kind soul who has had successfully set up this card please post the details to the list? I've had a couple inquiries concerning this one, and after making a recent discovery of some apparently misinformation on the OS/2 Compatible Hardware List (namely, the LinkSys WPC11 V4, listed as having a PRISM3 chipset, apparently has a Realtek RTL8180 instead).

TIA

BTW, I now have a LinkSys WPC11 V4 (new), so if someone wants to tinker, let me know and I'll ship it off. I paid $49.98 + tax at Staples here in New York for it on Saturday.

Sorry for the spam (okay, as Andy will probably point out, I'm not really sorry; I figured that this might be of interest to someone here!), but Micro Center Online (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=109835) is offering the above Belkin 802.11b card for $25 less a $25 rebate, which means that the only cost is ~$6 for shipping (US). And yes, this card is supported with the GenPrism driver or the IBMPrism driver (see http://www.os2warp.be/index2.php?name=wifidevs).

I have no experience with the Belkin cards, though I have had some frustrating times with one of their broadband router models (several pieces, unfortunately). My experience with Belkin has been that they are not as fastidious whenh it comes to firmware updates as most other manufacturers.

Anyway, for someone on a real budget, this is a great way to get into the swing of Wi-Fi. Enjoy.
