It's a bug with any wireless card that uses the Prism chipset. This
includes Dlink DWL650, Compaq WL100, and probably others such as what
you listed. I contacted Checkpoint support and was told that this card
was not listed on their supported network cards found here:
http://support.checkpoint.com/kb/docs/public/securemote/html/NIC_supported.html
and the fact that I was using a Toshiba laptop that also wasn't on this
list meant that Checkpoint would not officially help me.
This blows in my opinion. It's nice to hear that this doesn't seem to
happen in NG, but it seems with 4.1SP5 at least no 802.11 with Prism
chipsets will work. The Sony Wireless card is an OEM of Orinoco which I
believe is WaveLan chipset based.. Not quite sure though, but my
Orinoco Silver card I use at home with a LinkSys Gateway+WAP works well.

Subject: [FW-1] SecureClient and wireless interfaces.
Hello.
I have a remote user (who unfortunately is far enough
away that I can't go there myself and troubleshoot)
who uses a cable modem to access the internet. He
also has a wireless network that, according to him,
also leads to the cable modem.
Typically, he uses SecureClient with his laptop
plugged into a docking station, and the docking
station plugged into a hub or something that goes to
the cable modem. SecureClient works fine this way.
What he wants to do, however, is associate
SecureClient with his wireless interface so that he
can take the laptop anywhere in the house and still
use the VPN.
This doesn't seem to be working with the default
install. Is there anything special that needs to be
done?
All help is appreciated.
