Today I bought a pair of ancient NetWave wireless cards 
(for $3) and got them running on BL3.  The standard BL3 
kernel worked fine.  It just needed the netwave_cs module 
(from Slackware 7.1) and a three new entries in the PCMCIA 
config file:
----------------------------------------------------------
device "netwave_cs"
  class "network" module "netwave_cs"

card "Xircom CreditCard Netwave"
  version "Xircom", "CreditCard Netwave"
  bind "netwave_cs"

module "netwave_cs" opts "domain=0x7 scramble_key=0x7777"
---------------------------------------------------------
Those 7's are just examples.

I was able to ping between the cards, copy files using
send/receive, and use startxt to run X applications 
remotely.  It's a pity the NetWaves are so slow (about 
the same speed as PLIP).  Wavelan and Lucent are much
faster (and also have modules in Slackware 7.1).

Cheers,
Steven
