Subject: [OS2Wireless] Belkin F5D6020 802.11b PCMCIA FREE after rebate

Could some kind soul who has had successfully set up this card please 
post the details to the list? I've had a couple inquiries concerning 
this one, and after making a recent discovery of some apparently 
misinformation on the OS/2 Compatible Hardware List (namely, the LinkSys 
WPC11 V4, listed as having a PRISM3 chipset, apparently has a Realtek 
RTL8180 instead).

TIA

BTW, I now have a LinkSys WPC11 V4 (new), so if someone wants to tinker, 
let me know and I'll ship it off. I paid $49.98 + tax at Staples here in 
New York for it on Saturday.
