Perfect for us snoopers to walk by college frat houses and hopping on the 'net with our linux ipaq's :)" First company to come out with a "universal connectivity" PCMCIA card wins all the marbles.

    What we all really need is a wireless nic that can be upgraded to new wireless standards à la 802.11x via firmware. The argument exists that we don't have the components to build these cards but I feel that this is where research should move. As it stands now, we are poised for a new standard roll-out every 8 months for the next few years. Anyone know about this type of tech being develloped?
