Cisco End-Of-Lifed the Cisco AIR-LMC352 in January of 2006.  Demand for the AIR-LMC352 Aironet 350 Series Client Adapter has been high over the last year.  Large quantities of the AIR-LMC352 have been hard to find.  You can still find them in small quantities on auctions sites like eBay. The AIR-PCI352 (PCI card) has what appears to be an AIR-LMC352 included (installed).  Many people have wondered if you can simply remove the AIR-LMC352 from the AIR-PCI352.  The AIR-PCI352 is much more available and this would be a great solution for those of us looking for large quantities of AIR-LMC352s.  The problem however is that although they look the same, they is a small but important difference. The AIR-LMC352 adapter that is included on the AIR-PCI352 has a modified boot code that only allows it to work on the PCI card.  If you attempt to remove that AIR-LMC352 and install it in a standard PCMCIA slot, the system will not...

The Cisco CISCO3725-DC-U is described by Cisco as " 3725 router w/Universal Power Supply 24/48 volts 32F/256D".  When compared with the CISCO3725 you can quickly see that the only difference appears to be the "Universal Power Supply 24/48 volts".  The Flash and Memory are the same as a regular CISCO3725. So what is this Universal Power Supply 24/48 volts?  A quick search on Cisco's website reveals that the part number for this universal power supply is actually: PWR-3725-DC-U The PWR-3725-DC-U is described as: "Spare Universal Power Supply 24 to 48 volts".  The wiring requirements for this power supply are: A Cisco 3725 router with a DC-input power supply requires copper wire, size AWG 14 (1.625 mm 2 ), for the power connections. You can connect a single DC power source to either the A input or the B input. If there are parallel dual power sources, connect one source...
