Don't have any.

I have a NetGear MA401RA and a NetGear MR814 Router/Firewall/Access Point.
They work quite well together.  I also have a Lucent Orinoco Silver PCCard 
and a Belkin F5D6020 PCCard.  I don't use the Belkin much because my 
battery life is noticeably shorter than with the NetGear card.

I have an Aironet 320 PCI card, but it's currently shelved.  It was my 
access to the Internet for 2+ years, until November 2002.  Flawless.

Haven't tried one yet.  I hope they work, that would make networking even 
itty bitty boxes pretty easy.

The other node on my wireless network at home is a Sharp Zaurus PDA 
running Linux.  It has an AmbiCom CF 802.11b card that was recognized and 
came up the first try with no futzing.  Now I just need to get a 
SmartDigital memory card so I have enough storage space to sync my CRAZY 
mail inbox onto it.  Augh!
