[MLB-WIRELESS] Lucent WaveLan 802.11 Cards can they be upgraded?

[David]

The AP (802.11b) can see the MAC address in its list of stations connected 
if the cards where FHSS they would not connect to a 802.11b AP! (there may 
be 2 type of the card).

Mark do you know where I can get Version 6 + that you talked about? and how 
to upgrade them?

Thanks
David.
