I have purchased mini WiFi cards in the past and stuck them in laptops but those have always been the card sanctioned by the laptop's manufacturer. I guess it had not occurred to me that WiFi cards must conform to some standardized interface and hence be at least moderately interchangeable. Here is hoping that such an open firmware day arrives soon! /john --94eb2c0b912e981db90525cb1904 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
