I'm working on getting a set of prism54 cards working right now, and my best suggestion to you is to avoid 802.11g 54Mbps cards in the short term, unless you're comfortable with wireless configuration under Linux already. It works (www.prism54.org is the place to look for supported cards using this chipset, and for bare-bones information on getting things going), but it's not pleasant. To be fair, getting the SMC PCI card in my FC1-based router working was simple enough after updating to Arjan's 2.6 kernels, although I bumped into a few firmware loading problems because of some hotplug tricks being played in /etc/init.d/network and elsewhere. It's the Netgear PCMCIA card in my laptop (running the same configuration) that's been giving me fits lately. ;-) -- Edward S.
