QNX support for WLAN via USB

I need to connect my PC through WLAN 802.11b - I found QNX support for
Lucent ORiNOCO PCMCIA cards. But my mini PC has not PCMCIA slot or free PCI
slot for PCI/PCMCIA adapter. I found the Avaya World USB client - Gold (WLAN
client connected via USB). But QNX support for USB seems to be poor, so I do
not know if it will work.

Does anybody have experience with it?

Neither the devn-orinoco or devn-prism (6.2.1) currently support the USB
profile for prism chipsets. Sorry.

Yes, if you have a proper PCI<->PCMICA bridge it will work fine. That
is basically what is in a mini-pci card.
