Hi,

I'm stymied by the 802.11b situation. Basically, if you
take the compatability list, and eliminate the TI and Broadcom
cards, then eliminate the cards that aren't actually possible
to find, what are you left with?

Looks like certain Netgear cards. Hmm, what do you bet they
changed their chipset to an incompatable one as well?
