Wanted to share with the community that THIS pcmcia wireless card works right out the box with DSL and is only $15. Use iwconfig and change eth0 to ath0. That's it!

Cheap solution for that older laptop.

Have you tried it with both WEP and WPA?

Also, it is unfortunately a 32-bit card, meaning my ancient laptop will not run the card. Maybe I just need to get newer hardware... Nice find though, running out of the box is a real plus!

I am running DSL on a Compaq Armada 4131T, 133Mhz, 80MB Ram, 3G hard-drive, no integrated USB/Network/Modem/anything, a fritzy floppy, and an external battery pack that I hope to remove someday. I love DSL on my lappy: Who needs up-to-date when you have DSL?

Ive also found 2 other cards that run out of the box. The wpc11 from linksys version 3 card and the Netgear MA401 both just work upon boot no configuring at all and they run about 10 to 15 bucks on ebay. Ive seen them sell for 4.00 dollars
