(IIRC, they can't become a true base station, just ad-hoc mode..) This is true. I tried to setup a linux wireless gateway with Orinoco cards at work about 6 months ago and read somewhere (wireless howto?) there is a special code passed to the Orinoco card's when plugged into a base-station that tells them to allow 11Mbps. Under linux all you'll get out of the Orinoco cards is the ad-hoc 3?Mbps. Christopher Gahlon
