[geeks] 802.11b with SBus PCMCIA card

[Ken Hansen]

No one can seem to point out what cards are supportd by the drivers.

I imagine they are still supported, but no one can provide me a particular card to get...

I bought 2 AT&T WaveLan cards for use in my SPARCbooks, but could not get them working. The drivers were from Tadpole, but Ian Spray from Tadpole can't even get his hands on a document that lists the supported cards...

He *hinted* that there may be some support in the near future for some more modern replacements (802.11b, hopefully, although which chipset?)...

I seem to recall there being support for the older 2 Mbps WaveLan cards. IS
this so?

but the 802.11b cards are, as far as I can tell, unsupported.

AT&T WaveLan cards I have do not work under Solaris 2.6 (although a driver
is included in that release).
