A symbol firmware prism > card only does 802.11b and isn't a "new top-of-the-line pccard". > Actually that is fine, my link to the net is DSL, so speed is of no big concern. My LAN is at 100Mbit, but on the Thinkpad the 11Mbit is okay, as my file transfers are not large or anything demanding, mostly I would need a link to the net to then connect to my office servers, not much more. > ath support is also not quite ready for primetime, IMO, in 5.x. > Okay.
