The one you listed is just like the one I inquired about at CDW.

My other post makes reference to a PCI card that accepts PCMCIA cards;
I suppose you could call it a converter. I do not know about the one you
inquired about (XTERASYS), but the Orinoco's are well supported in both
Linux abd OpenBSD (and all the others I am sure).
