No kidding.  Well over US$200 a pop.  <sigh>

: As far as Prism 2.5 based cards, I have a Netgear MA401 (PC Card) and
: MA301 (PCI adapter) set sitting here also.

Someone told me privately that the Linksys WDT11, a Global Sun 24110 based
card works with the "wi* at pci?" attachment with Orinico cards.  (The only
use of the wi* at pci? that I had been able to find up to that point was for
Prism-based cards.)

Of course, that came slightly too late.  I managed to find a real Ricoh
PCI->CardBus adapter for $35 on eBay.  (Nothing quite like using an actually
standard bus attachment.  8-)

Now, who knows when we'll ever see 802.11g or 802.11a support, as I've
heard that the specs for all such chipsets are NDA-hidden (which is not
shocking, given that BRCM has a near-monopoly on those two).  No big deal
for me, yet.
