Once upon a time, driver meant an NDIS or ODI library. These days, it
includes a client manager, configuration utility, monitoring software,
connection manager, install package, and supplicant. When looking for
such things on the vendors web pile, I look for a driver.

What do you mean by "...Odyssey client and WZC do not." Are you
suggesting that they are not supplicants?

Incidentally, I think the term supplicant is stupid. In other drivers
(i.e. VPN), it's called a "shim", which is both more appropriate and
easier to spell.

True. I was talking about finding an 802.11g card with a 16 bit
interface. There were a few, but I can't find any at this time.

>Client manager 3 is a MeetingHouse product.

That's interesting. They are getting Borged by Cisco.

>That's because of the voltage, not the bus width.

Just try it and see for thyself. A 32 bit card will not fit in a 16
bit slot. It's more than just the power supply voltage. There are
substantial differences in connector pinout function.
