Everything worked fine today! I was riding as a passenger, so I propped my laptop on my knees, and raised it high up in the car, almost level with the windows ( I have no external antenna yet ). It was amazing! I picked up 40 APs on my way home from DC into Northern VA. This card must be totally unable to receive if it's just sitting on the car seat.

Anyway, it's working fine. Alvarion does have the correct drivers online now at:

Next step is to build a nice little omni to set on the dash. I'm looking at multiple simple designs here:

Just need to find the proper pigtails. I know about http://www.fab-corp.com/ but I'm hoping to find a source locally (Northern VA or DC). No luck so far... Will keep all informed thru appropriate forums. Happy Stumbling!
