The real trick with any wireless card is to sort out which chip set the card uses. Also don't assume that two of the same model card has the same chip set, check that they are the same versions. Vendors will use different chip sets on the same model cards and slap a version number on that denotes the change. This usually means you have to use different drivers. There are native drivers available for some chip sets like Atheros and Prism chip sets. Others you have to use ndiswrapper which lets you use the windows drivers for those chips sets (broadcom is an example). So figure out which chip set the card uses then find the appropriate driver for that chipset. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx The secret of happiness is total disregard of everybody.
