This is likely due to the fact that, similar to Nvidia's or ATi's proprietary drivers, the module itself consists of a binary-only HAL plus an open-source driver to connect it with the rest of the kernel. As I understand it, work is under way to reverse-engineer this HAL, especially with OpenBSD's recent wireless advocacy. > I have Wavelan and Orinoco 11b cards that do just work in fc3, but in > fc5beta1test I can't use WEP. Likewise. I'm using a "2Wire Wireless PC Card" (it came with the router from my ISP). It's rebranded Prism2 PCMCIA card which works beautifully with GNU/Linux. -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) GnuPG Public Key: 0xDA3634D7
