I would appreciate if anybody can tell me why no shop supports wireless
pcmcia cards on win95 anymore. I'm looking for wireless pcmcia cards
(for win95). Cheers.

p.s.: The IBM High Rate Wireless LAN PC Card (P/N 09N9904 / 09N9863) for
Windows 95 may work but it is too dear for me.

Because it's not worth the manufacturer's time and money to create drivers
for Windows 95. They are most interested in the high-volume sales, and they
will be happening with Windows XP. Many of these devices aren't even
supported in Windows 98 - 98SE is the minimum. If you want to use the
latest hardware you will need to upgrade your OS.
