Really cheap/weak hardware to drive a PCMCIA NIC?

[Darryl Smith]

If you need 802.11, I would have a look at the COMPACT FLASH 802.11
modems. They should be very simple to interface to an IDE interface
which is very simple to work with an IDE interface.

If it does not need to be 802.11 there are other technologies... Still
running spread spectrum. Circuit Cellar (www.circuitcellar.com) runs
articles on them all the time. Feel free to contact me directly for more
details

Just out of curiousity, does anyone know of any type
of really cheap processor or (PIC?) setup that can do
very basic interfacing with a PCMCIA/CF wireless NIC?

I'm basically just looking for something to bridge 802.11b
to some slow communications link for control purposes.  It needs to be
small and cheap as possible.

Thanks,
Ben
