Could use a bit of advice.

I have a symbol 4121 AP with a Symbol PCMIA for my laptop.  Works fine.
Added a Linksys PCI to another desktop PC w/ Win98, doesn't work.  I've gone
through
all the settings, worked with Linksys, exchange the PCI card for another,
and no change.
Even when setup in AD-HOC mode, the two PCs don't register.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I had a similar problem which we solved by upgrading the firmware on the PCI
card.
In my case, I could connect a little bit, but not a good connection.  When
we upgraded the firmware, it was solid.

Well, I finally got it.  I had upgraded the FW on the AP, and the PCMIA
card.  That combo worked just fine.  I got ahold of a Symbol Technician, and
after a bit of discussion, he presented me with another option to check.

On the Linksys side, check which preamble is set.  After looking at the
Symbol, I set the preamble on the Linksys to SHORT, and bingo, it came up
immediately.

Hope this helps someone else.
