Just to set the record straight, I'm unaware of any CardBus devices compatible with the orinoco driver, i.e. Prism 2-3, Symbol Trilogy or Hermes I based 802.11b device. At the first glance, gPXE appears to support Prism chipset only, either native PCI or PCMCIA behind PLX9052 bridge. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
