Yes.  I try very hard to make sure that all the wireless cards I have
always work.  I'll send you email off list.

However, for the IBM Lan Entry cards I have, that's not an option
because they are so old (and undocumented).  The webgear Raylink cards
also suffer from neglect because I don't have a FS base station.  The
cnw based cards probe, but I don't check to see if they work.

All the other wireless cards that I have do work, except I think I
broke awi in NEWCARD.
