Can US Wifi cards be used in the UK?

[Dilldog]

I'm off to the USA in a week or so and as the £/$ Exchange rate is quite good for people spending sterling :D , I thought I might indulge....

One item I would like to get is a 802.11b CF card for my 2210 - what should I get and will it work with my UK access point and those public ones that are springing up?

Thanks all!

I personally like the Socket/Symbol cards, but the D-Link cards can be purchased for about $30 in some places I have seen in the past.

Yeah, the DLink one is $29.95 after rebates:

It should with with any 802.11b access point.

It's really good for the Euro too :lol: I am in the US for a while and I can't stop buying gadgets!

US Wifi cards use (correct me if I'm wrong) the first 11 channels, where as European Wifi cards have two additional channels. So you should not have a problem.
