Thanks for the list Chris. I had no idea that ANY PCI based cards
work, i'm glad you showed me that page. I was under the impression you
needed to get a pcmcia PCI adapter or whatever those things are and
then use a wireless card like you would on a laptop. (pcmcia)

Thanks again. Maybe we could get manuel to put a "survey" type thing
on the home page relating to hardware being used. I suppose there are
a million chipsets, so maybe that wont be so easy. Hmm.
