_I_ have two prism54 cards, and those work with standard kernels. You
need the madwifi project (I don't know whether it's integrated yet).
It's a bit of a maze, but you start at sourceforge.
btw Daughter lives in Canberra. Daughter bought a laptop. Daughter took
it home, turned it on and it said, "Do you want to join this network?"
Latest is, she has a choice of three unsecured wireless networks.
atm the weak point in my wireless is my laptop which has an 11b Wavelan
card. Works fine, but only does 40-bit WEP.
I intend to fit one of these:
