Compex WLU11A & Proxim RangeLAN-DS

These appear to work, with minor problems;
Compex WLU11A (USB) (Atmil) better receive then PC card below!
Proxim RangeLAN-DS (PC Card) (Prism2) (but has antenna connector, if I can ever figure out what kind of connector it is!)

Running on WindowsXP SP1 on either;
HP Pavilion ze4100 (P4M 1.8)
or
HP Omnibook 7100 (PII 266, slow but works)

Glad to see Earthmate (original serial version) GPS support. As much a piece of proprietary crap as it is.

Though both work I'm having some weird problems. One the Compex the utility software sometimes has to be reinstalled as a DLL becomes missing. I've not researched this yet to see why. Before Netstumbler 0.4 I had not had this problem. On eth Proxim Netstumbler insists on reconfiguring it and causes problems (having to remove and reinsert card). This was not a problem in the previous version. Both adapters worked in the previous version, FYI.

Thanks!
