Hello,

It's great to see this happen.  If you'll allow me a slight faux pas, I'd
like to piggy-back a question on this announcement: can anyone recommend a
decent wireless card (this newly-supported one included) to use in a
Cardbus x86 laptop running NetBSD-current?  I'm starting from scratch here
and would like to put an access point in my house.  I've never used 802.11b
before.

Thanks,
