    SMC2632W card works out of the box recognized as an Intersil PRISM2. The
    specific wireless access point shouldn't matter, but if you want to use 11g (and
    AFAIK 11g support under Linux is weak or proprietary, I've never tried it) you
    are well-advised to match vendor of 11g card with WAP for best results.
