Hi. I looking to buy in my country Wi-Fi pcmcia card with support for Windows 95 (to get internet on old laptops :P). 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.

The oricono cards have drivers for EVERYTHING. Plus, they work on older lappys with 16 bit PCMCIA only.

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.
