I also read somewhere (didn't bookmark the link, and a quick search doesn't turn it up) that you can pull the MiniPCI card out of the DWL-G520, and put it in most laptops - apparently, the antenna connector is the same. So my laptop might just get a 802.11g upgrade if I do go that route.. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list at tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list
