pcmcia wireless card on 15" Powerbook

[Erik Winkler]

The PCMCIA slot should be supported under yellowdog.  I recommend  
getting one of the Orinoco Classic Gold PCMCIA cards from Proxima.   
Here is the listing from "cough" Dell's site:  
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx? 
sku=A0131429&cs=19&c=us&l=en.  You need to make sure it is a "Classic"  
Gold card, otherwise it will not work under yellowdog or MacOS X for  
that matter.  I am using one now with yellowdog on a 15" titanium  
because the internal Airport card range is so poor and it works great.   
Make sure to read the FAQs on the yellowdog site on how to setup a  
wireless connection.  Setup should be the same as if you had the old  
Airport card installed, as the "Classic" and the old Airport card use  
the same chipset.
