Hi. I looking to buy in my country Wi-Fi pcmcia card with support for Windows 95 (to get internet on old laptops ). I found one CISCO AIRONET 350 but I don't know if that one is good or not, what you thing about that card ? It's easy to find driver for it, set internet connection from wireless etc. ? Maybe there are other better models to buy ? Thanks in advance for help.

Yeah, like that. Drivers can be found easy enough online.
Its possible to find for Windows 3.1 Driver or only Windows 95 and higher? And from image its possible to read full name (when looking driver)? I asking because I dont know which one from that text on card is exactly model

The oricono cards have drivers for EVERYTHING. Plus, they work on older lappys with 16 bit PCMCIA only.
Its cool because I will get one from 1993 or 1994 so I will test I bought 2 because I will put on 2 laptop. But that drivers is on their site or where ? And I must now exactly model or there are universal driver?

The Orinoco cards only work in Windows 95 and later.

Hello, I have a cisco aironet 340 it's not the 350 but... Anyway, I bought it for my hp jornada PDA and I also used it under win95-98.The only bad point I call tell you is that there is no scan function so you have to enter manually the network parameters such as network name (SSID) ecc.. and with the cisco software of this card does NOT support WPA encryption... But maybe cisco relased some updates for this... anyway, the card is good also for XP, vista where scan mode and WPA are available using the windows wi-fi utility.
