[MLB-WIRELESS] Enterasys card hanging new windows 2000 server install.

[Callan Browne]

I don't know where you have been told the Win2k server doesn't support
wireless cards. 
I had a Compaq WL200 cad running under win2k server (running as DC) without
any hassles.

The card detected as a PCMCIA card and port, shouldn't make a difference
though.
