I've seen some remark it as atheros - and some as prism. Does it have '802.11a'? Usually 802.11a supported cards are atheros chipset based. With atheros - there is a chance that you can get it working with madwifi driver. I use a mini-pci card 'IBM a/b' with I believe has an atheros 5211 chipset. The a/b/g cards could be Atheros 5212 chipset. One way to find this info is with 'lspci'. I get 02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5211 802.11ab NIC (rev 01) I used to get numeric nubers here (which could be matched with entries in the madwifi source). Do'nt know who does the translation now .. 02:02.0 Class 0200: 168c:0012 (rev 01) Satish
