Maybe hoping for too much!

I recently got a D-link DCF-660W wireless CF card and as noted in my previous thread, it worked fine with standard installation.

Now I'm wondering whether I can get it working on my laptop as well. I have a CF - PCMCIA adapter but there are no Win 2K drivers on the D-link website for this device.

Could I download a driver from one of their PCMCIA wireless cards and use the 660 as a 'virtual PCMCIA' card, or would I risk damaging the device?

I'm hoping to be able to use one card for two things, like I can with my Ambicom CF bluetooth card - but maybe I'm being greedy!

I'd love to hear from anyone with any experience one this topic.

Cheers
Graeme

I was able to do that with my netgear card using the laptop drivers on my Windows 2000 machine, however I did not have the same luck on my XP Pro machine. So my suggestion is download the drivers for the D-Link laptop card and give it a shot. If it does not work hurry ov er to Circuit City and pick up a Siemens card for $19.99 before they are all gone. I picked one up today and am using it to send this message.

The Hot Deals fourm on this page is gonna send me to the poor house. I just can't seem to pass up these deals
