[MLB-WIRELESS] PCI adaptor card update

Does anyone know if any of these PCI cards will work in a Windows OS with a
card from another manufacturer?
For example, I have heard the Enterasys PCMCIA adaptor and Orinoco Silver
work in a D-Link PCI cradle on Linux.
Anyone know if it would work with Windows 2000 or would it be a driver
issue?  (Have I just answered my own question!)

Regards,

Steven

That would make sense as the Orinoco PCI Adapters are Texas Instrument
adapters. So any TI adapters should work fine with Compaq cards,
Enterasys, and any other cards that are just rebranded Orinoco's.
