ot (?!) - wlan cards /w Powerbook and YDL

[Ron Smith]

Hi Stephan,

I do not know about using standard PC wlan cards in a PowerBook, but I  
do know that you can use the AirPort card under Linux and with *most*  
wlan access points. I have used mine with D-Link, LinkSys, and NetGear  
access points. The only problem I am aware of is that if you  have an  
older card (mine is from 2000) there are sometimes problems using them  
with access points that support 128bit WEP *only*.

Hope that helps.

-Ron
