My wife wants to use my old P4 laptop in her office and I want it reasonably secure so I need to use WPA and I don't want no stinking windoze. Does this exist for eCS? Mark, the Cisco 802.11b/g is a nice CardBUS card, but unfortunately, the Cisco driver we have doesn't recognize it. I think the issue is more the fact that Jens' development of the PC Card drivers stopped just short of the proliferation of CardBUS Wi-Fi cards (and, indeed, 802.11g), leaving us with the smattering of support we now have for 16-bit PCMCIA (802.11b) cards and not much else (if anything). I take it your old laptop is not Wi-Fi ready? In that case, you may be best served by using one of those bridge devices where you will have full support of the hardware, independent of the OS. None of the card drivers supports WPA under OS/2, of that I am certain. -- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------
