I've followed the thread, and noticed that serious netweenies who have to fix a network are more interested in the hard wire type, and the folks who just want to be able to use a network seem to be the w/o wires type.

Not be snotty, or come across as such, but does this seem fair? If the market for w/o wires is for USERS rather than ADMINS then Xircom has a point. For every Admin type person who has a visor, how many user types are there? Hmm?

Personally, I would love to have a wired network connection from my visor, and I t/s a 700 node network. I wouldn't mind the wireless ethernet, but its of far less use - range, etc. Also, a wireless adapter is going to demand more power, etc. If we can't convince Xircom that there is demand, then we'll simply have to home-grow a solution. Anybody thinking that this seems to remind them of Innogear?

I totally agree

I am an IT Manager and if my Visor had a wired ethernet connection, not only could I get the network connectivity I crave, but think of the software troubleshooting apps, sniffers for switches and routers, cable testing, and network traffic reports. You would think if they put out springboards for doctors with the PDR, and preachers with the bible, they could surely come up with something for us techheads. Afterall who is more likely to put up the cash for the Visor and the module, someone who understands the technology, or folks that can barely use email?
