I found one of these today. Is anyone familar with
them? This one is a 16
bit ISA card and I can't find anything about this model on the net. Does
anyone know if it's compatible with the current wireless LAN cards?
They are
not. Howver, they are standard 2Mbps cards running on
2.4GHz, using either FH or DS mode. Drivers are available for
most operating systems. DEC re-used (sort-of OEM'ed) these
cards for their RoamAbout series of products, which later was
taken over by Enterasys, who turned them into WiFi-standard
products. The DEC RoamAbout 2.4 cards (DEIRB) and the
access point will happily talk to your RL2 card.
Cheers,
