    There's prisms and there's prisms. I think if yours works, there should
    be a firmware file on your cd: a file whose name ends .arm.

    There are cards based on prism54 cards that do not yet work with Linux.
    See prism54.org for supported chipsets.

    I had the misfortune to buy an smc2802w. The original works, iit has a
    firmware file as I just mentioned. The V2 whichI got does not work, and
    the firmware's embedded in the Windows malware. There is a description
    somewhere at prism54.org on how to get the firmware out, but the
    firmware doesn't actually work with the Li nux driver.
