Thanks, I'll look there.

16 bit as opposed to Cardbus 32 bit. A Cardbus PCMCIA card has the row of
bumps along the top of the leading insertion edge .

A Linksys WT54G which replaced a Linksys WAP11 with a Linksys W????41 router
combo. Both sides set up with a web browser. The downside is the reduction
in the number of LEDs but I can live with that. I realize I can get a
Cardbus 802.11g PCMCIA card for the newer Wincrap laptop I use in the
business world but I am looking for the OS/2 solution.
