what pcmcia or USB will work with win98 or winxp?
1. 802.11B
2. 802.11G

wireless adapters:
3. pcmcia wih external antenna jack
4. USB

OS:
5. win98
6. winxp

I need recommended wireless adapter for the following combinations
1 2 3 5
1 2 3 6
1 2 4 5
1 2 4 6

searching through posts I never find my exact selections
not much info on cards with external antenna
also very little on 802.11G support

I need 802.11B AND 802.11G support
I need pcmcia with external antenna conection OR USB adapter
I would like to use my old winbook (win98)
but I can use my newer notebook with winxp

And NO I could not find the infamous "readme file"
that is suppose to tell me what cards are supported.

I did read:
http://www.netstumbler.com/downloads...ease_notes.pdf

but it did not answer all my questions.
I spent the whole day googling with no luck.
Thank you for any help.
Ray

1 2 3 5 Not going to happen; Win98 will NOT work with a G card.
1 2 3 6 Unlikely, but possible.
1 2 4 5 Not going to happen; See above.
1 2 4 6 Very unlikely, but possible.

Avoid the drama, and get a ORiNOCO "B" card. And before you ask the next question: A "B" card will detect a "G" network.

I hope you're either kidding. They're called Frequently Asked Questions for a reason: Official Netstumbler 0.4.0 Readme

Detailed references are also available for each OS in the FAQs.

Thanks to all.
Took me a while to find everything I needed.
I just did not know how to navigate the forum.
Thanks again!
