And different models from the same vendor _may_ and _often_ use different chip sets for different manufacturing runs of the same model card. The specific model/version number should help you determine the chip set manufacturer. Finding out the chip set manufacturer is the easy way to know if the card will work or not. Drivers work with specific chip sets. It has been awhile [my wireless card is an older linksys wpc11 prism based--newer ones don't work I'm told], but a quick google turns up some useful looking results: http://www.wlug.org.nz/WirelessChipsets HTH, -- Craig Thomas <cjtinhp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
