All DLink asked for in return for Eval'ing the gear was some feedback on how
it suited our requirements and how it could better suit our requirements.
There was some issues with the 11a PCMCIA Drivers under Win. `98 which I
informed them of and also the Linux drivers (I didn't have time to see if
they were for some reason natively supported, but chances are very low).
They are however aware that people are wanting *nux drivers for their
wireless gear.
