Go check out the WLAN stuff (google on WLAN and WL100 (yes I know you have
a WL200 - so do I but search on WL100) and get the latest stuff). First
make sure you have the USB seeing the card (if the card is on then USB
should see it and complain about not having a driver). Somebody even has a
minihowto on WL100 and Compaq Nxxx somewhare that actually mostly worked.
Had to fiddle after that (back in Oct last).

I have not fiddled with it further as my Enterasys stuff does rapid rekey.
But I do want to play with it some more 'cuz it looks cool.
