I've got a couple mini-PCI Intel radios sitting here that I would like to be able to use in various single board computers (e.g. soekris and netgear wgt634u). Right now, I am mostly constrained to using Atheros radios, which is a situation I'd rather not be in and have been looking forward to growing out of. -- Russell Senior ``I have nine fingers; you have ten.'' seniorr@aracnet.com
