just a note on the 'orinoco' a/b/g cards (from Proxim, at least). I
splurged and got a Proxim 8480 a/b/g PCMCIA card a few weeks ago. My
advice is to wait a while:
1. One of the reason to get orinoco cards in the past was the external
antenna jack. the new cards don't have them. (probably justified
because of the dual frequency bands. Tho I think that's kinda lame)
2. Being new-ish, the drivers are still on the immature side, tho it
looks like they are under active development.
The no ext antenna thing is the dealkiller for me. I'm going to send it
back.
