Will BL2 (glibc6) cardmgr work with it?  I was unable to compile one of 
the required modules (yenta-socket?).

One of this person's three laptop computers has a dead hard drive (the 
very thin type, which we do not have).  Knoppix runs on there but does not 
recognize the Belkin wireless G card.  It finds my older cards.  DSL linux 
apparently uses ndiswrapper for this card (and crashes).  Five people gave 
up on the card.

We could buy an aironet or orinoco wireless card instead of a hard drive, 
and run BL3 from CD.

And use the cardbus card in the other (working) laptop.

No floppy drive.
