I haven’t mentioned a pair of PCMCIA wireless network cards I brought home the other day, mostly because they were only slightly different from the ones I already have.
The recycle shop yielded up a Corega CG-WLPCCL11 as well as a Logitec Skylink LAN-WAG/CB. The Corega card is limited to B range, but the Logitec is marked for G and A access as well.
The reason I say they’re only slightly different is that the one uses the orinoco module, and the other is ath5k-driven. And considering I already have two cards with those guts, there haven’t been many surprises.
I do notice that the Logitec card tends to freeze when used in the Mebius, but doesn’t when used in the 133Mhz Pentium, so it might be a hardware inconsistency that’s causing it.
The Corega card however, is just as reliable and flexible as the Linksys card I own, and for that reason I consider it a worthy addition to my small collection.
And since both of them appeared in the store in their original boxes and with all their paraphernalia, I can hardly quibble at a price tag of around US$4 each. Thank goodness for cheap hobbies. 🙂
Motho ke motho ka botho 
Do you have a link to your recycle shop? Am interested in getting more use out of used computers and what other communities are doing about the problem of e-waste.
Can you read Japanese? 😉 That one is a chain around the country, which is sometimes fruitful.
The one I usually visit is a mom-and-pop store. I’m sure they have a web site, but I’ll have to check the address again.

loved it!
