I bought one Access Point, one PCMCIA card and two PCI cards. The access point was defective and one of the antennae on the PCI cards was broken...a 50% failure rate. These were 54Mb components. Linksys have recnetly announced a new 108MB set of components but the 54MB parts cannot be upgraded via microcode (unlike DLink). The Linksys website says that their PCI cards support WPA. What they don't say is that it is only under XP. Not only do they not support Linux they even mislead their Win customers. While their customer support folks are polite they don't have any technical knowledge. They promised a call back from their 2nd level support that never came. I figured out my problem without them. Bottomline, if you are thinking of wireless DO NOT even consider Linksys. They don't even pretend to support Linux and do a poor job with Windows. -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer
