Hi Joe,

After further research, I did find some used Gold Wavelan for $15 on eBay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/GOLD-Lucent-Wavelan-Orinoco-PCMCIA-802-11b-Mac-Win_W0QQitemZ230349524403QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0

I will investigate the differences between gold/silver/bronze; just to be
sure this one will do the trick.

Thanks for helping.
Now, I will gear towards the WaveLan solution.
