That will work as they both use the same driver.  I have a version of the 
same driver that is a couple days newer.  Its been 3 years so I don't 
remember the differences but I was testing the driver for the developer 
before he disappeared.  I think it has more logging messages to 
lantran.log.  readme.txt says the following:

"Cisco Aironet 340/350 Series NDIS 2.01 PCCard driver, Rev. 0.91.A502

This release does an additional check for A502 hardware. This chip has a
hardware bug which must be worked around with the help of the firmware.
Unfortunally (or fortunally) I don't have such a card, so I'm looking for
someone who has. The check has no other side effects except for a Message
in LANTRAN.LOG.

Known Bugs and Limitations:

1. APM Suspend/Resume: It works, but only the radio will be disabled. The
    card is still active - this will be fixed in the next release.
2. WifiStat: Everything except encryption configuration is now implemented.
3. Encryption: This does not work yet.
4. LEAP: This does not work yet.

All other things should work :)"

Unfortunately to my knowledge there was never another release after this 
one. Anyone ever find out what happened to Jens?
