Hello

Recently i bought a wireless card from ebay following the info on the
Ipaq Hardware Compatibility, specifically this one:

--------------------
Lucent/Orinoco Wireless 802.11 card (Gold)

Card works great with the 0.5 distribution, "out of the box". Identified
as a WaveLan card.

Before buying the card I checked briefly (not enough) that it worked,
looked at some pictures and it said it was a PC CARD, to my dissmay when
i receive it, it turned to be a cardbus not a PC CARD, the model is
8470-WD, effectively being a Orinoco Gold card but with chipset Atheros,
anyway, it's a great card and i can use it on my laptop.

  So, searching again for a REALLY working card, I found this page
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/peripherals/pccardwirelesslan.htm which is in
some ways more complete than the present page, is there a possibility to
take some info from there and add it to the current page?

 If anyone is interested, at the time of this writing there are some
cards that should work, those are available at EBAY (29 of them), I
bought one yesterday, so once it's in my hands I'll report if it works.

Hope this helps someone

Jimmy
