I posted the article below at Wireless forum but thought it should be an interesting topic for NX forum, too. Please comment.

Has anyone actually tried to use his WL100 with his desktop? It's just a geeky thought, because technically if WL100 works with a notebook then it should also work for a PC.

I searched the market but couldn't find the right adapter for CF LAN card on PC. All existing CF card readers with a USB interface seem to be typecast as memory devices (probably they are designed so with their little circuit inside.) Are there any CF card reader that can be used for CF LAN card? Or does there exist any kind of CF converter that works with typical PC interface (USB, PCI, etc.)?

Again, it might just be a geeky thought... :rolleyes: Thanks for reading.

Check out this adaptor:

The cost may be too much when combined with the pcmcia adaptor needed for the WL 100.
