What are your general impressions of the 3com 3crwe62092a?
I got one from 3COM for free because I was signed up to evaluate their wireless products. I think it is an ok card, the XJack pop in/out connector is great, but the range is poor and it dosent have an external jack, my Orinoco Gold is so much better with the exception of the big builtin antenna.
I semi got netstumbler to work with the card, but there are several issues with the driver for Windows XP. There are 2 versions of the drivers for the 3com 3crwe62092a
