The Linksys 802.11b card definately works. It's in the machine now and I
just copied the logs that I just sent to the group across the network.

The 3Com is definately good. It works in Windbloze. Also we just purchased a
NetGear FA511 NIC as well. Same
issues.

Will do this too. Thanks for the pointer to the docs to review.

Thanks,
