[SPARCbook] 802.11 network cards

[Jim Thompson]

I don't know of any, but it seems fairly straightforward.  There are quite 
a few Linux/BSD drivers
out there (with source), and the Tadpole PCMCIA stack should accommodate an 
802.11 card
in a fairly straightforward manner.

If I had to guess, the PRISM-based cards (basically everything that isn't 
Lucent, Cisco or Symbol)
would be the easiest.   (And yes, I know that Cisco/Symbol are both 
PRISM-based, but they
tweak their firmware.)

If I still had a sparcbook, I'd consider doing this just for hack-value.
