Anyone know of a good Cardbus wireless 802.11g card that will work with either eCS or Linux?  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,

 It's a Thinkpad right? You could open it up and put in a mPCI card  that has drivers, with antennae wires, opening the TP is not a big deal, only putting one wire under the LCD is an issue. You won't get the diversity, but you could lay out wires in opposite directions under the keyboard....the wires are only about $15 or less on ebay....

  

Good point, Stan. I had forgotten about those aftermarket antennae we discussed here, previously. However, if the notebook already has an mPCI wied NIC in it, it is doubtful that there's a free slot...
