Hi,
I see that the 720 has the drivers for the Aironet 4800 built in. I also know this card is pretty old. Will it still connect with today's
hotspots? Also, my parents have a Linksys 802.11b router..would the 4800 allow me to connect with it when I visit them? The only wifi card I am familar with is the WPC11 from Linksys, but it seems the versions other than V.4 are hard to find. I'd really love to get wifi set up on my 720..my city has free hotspots all over the place. :-)

Sue

It's a PC4800. I can't find much info on it anywhere. Oh well, if it doesn't work at least I'll only be out $5. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

If there's drivers for it and they install ok, there's no reason why it shouldn't work with any hotspot (WEP and all may be another story depending on the driver).

You can download ministumbler or similar app onto your 720 to locate hotspots using the wifi card. Very handy
