As I write this email I am using an Orinoco Wireless 11Mb network card. 
We have three of these in the house for our portables (laptops and an
iPaq pda) and an access point (not peer-peer).  Next step is to get it
to work under Linux.  I have full 128-bit encryption enabled on the link
and use dhcp from a Cisco 675 (dsl box).  Unfortunately I have never
been able to get linux to get an IP address from the thing, so I don't
know if I can get the wireless card to.  The windows boxen have no
trouble.  I wonder what they pass as their parameter to work with it. 
Oh well, problem for a later date.
