I have a Compaq WL200, and I've been trying to get it to work in a
Linux box. After about a week of trying, I'm pretty much ready to throw
in the towel and try another card. As far as I can tell, the Cirrus
6729 PCI-PCMCIA bridge will not work with the PCI bus in the computer
(an IBM PC Server 325). I've exchange emails with the author of the
PCMCIA linux card services, and he thinks it's probably a timing problem,
but no combination of timing parameters has helped yet.

The problem is that it look like all PCI cards are basically PCMCIA
cards with a PCI- or ISA-PCMCIA bridge, and if the Compaq doesn't work,
I have no reason to think that any others will work.

Are there any *true* PCI wireless LAN cards supported, and would it
be reasonable to expect them (if they exist) to inter-operate with the
Compaq Wl100's I have in Ad Hoc mode?

Thanks for the input. I'm at the end of my rope with the d*mn Wl200 :-(
