[MLB-WIRELESS] Why the big price difference on PCMCIA 802.11b cards?

[Paul van den Bergen]

I believe the answer lies in the source.  There were a whole bunch 
(40,000?) of entersys cards out of the states due to the collapse of 
skynetglobal that have made there way here.  Atleast that is the romour 
going around the mill AFAIK...  Ofcourse I could be wrong...  it has 
happened before you know...
