I would think they would allow for better water flow as well as heat transfer.

The surface above the PCB needs to be a dielectric. (able to hold static electricity) not conductive. Check out http://www.qprox.com to learn more about the technology.

I guess I didn’t rtfa carefully enough. thanks for those replies. I’m sure it won’t be too long before someone releases a hack and some linux drivers for the wrt-54g router. :)

It’s beause you plug the pcmcia cellular modem directly into it.

It’s a small, multi-purpose, headless computer. While that also describes my Linksys WRT-54G router, mine doesn’t have a PCMCIA port for the cellular subscriber card. That’s the real catch. You could perform a similar stunt by using a small/old mobile computer with PCMIA linked up to a wireless router, but the net4521 combines the two into a sleek package. Are there any hacks out there to add PCMCIA to Linksys routers? Or, perhaps, a small device that just provided PCMCIA and linked up via ethernet like a wireless bridge?

Why not just any old linksys?
