Our 11mbit card (PC4800) does'nt require a dos/windows box to configure - just slap it into a Linux box, grab a copy of the driver and it's up and running.
Unfortunately tho - at this moment we dont have any means for flashing new firmware into the cards via Linux - only dos or windows. I have personally been testing our 11mbit cards with Linux and have gotten 790+Kbytes/sec throughput, much faster than I have gotten on Windows boxes here. The author of the driver I'm using - has recently added support for our PCI/ISA adapter cards also - should be info on his website. Aironet didn't write this driver - it was written entirely by Ben from IBM, with help from our tech support dept.
I must agree on the opinions voiced on the prices - even I can't afford to buy our products:-( Hopefully they will follow the trend set by ethernet cards - those were expensive too 15 years ago...
NOTE I dont speak for Aironet in any form, shape or fashion, any opinions expressed here are mine alone....
As good as this episode was - it could have been much better had Gene not butchered Harlan's fantastic story. Originally Harlan had Kirk being the one who needed to be restrained - but Gene felt that it did'nt fit Kirk's image, to be willing to sacrfice the future for the love of a woman... Harlan has a book out with the original screenplay and various rewrites he was forced to come up with - including encounters by the rest of the star trek crew with space pirates while the main group was marooned. Extremely good reading - but dont read this book if you think Gene is god and can't do no wrong. Hopefully - this links to the book on Amazon: BOOK (Darn it - the url get's broken - there is NO space between the "6" and "305602" at the end of the link) Or just search for "city on the edge of forever" on amazon and you should find it.

No co-incidence that he was in Chitty - since Ian Fleming wrote that book - and it had Cubby Brocoli in the production staff.
Whatya mean seemed cool? ;-)
