"I cried because I had no drivers, until I met a man who had no source ..."
I spent part of yesterday helping a young friend try to find a Mac
compatable PCI wireless card. We ended up mail ordering a WET54G
ethernet-connected bridge. For PCMCIA cards, we found only Apple,
Asante and Farallon/Proxim cards. There is another company that sells
Mac drivers for PRISM cards, $30. There may be more out there but
we didn't see it.
So as hard as it seems to find Linux drivers in a Windoze world, there
are drivers or development projects for most of the PCMCIA cards out
there. The poor Mac folks are having a much harder time of it.
