I have a SMC 2802W wireless pci card (b/g, ususally keeps 32-54 mb/s
connection) in my machine. Kernel has native drivers (named prism54) FC2
stock 2.6.5 and 2.6.7 kernels recognized it just fine. Had to go to
www.prism54.org to download a firmware file for my card. also had to
comment lines in /etc/init.d/network referencing hothe phrase "hotplug"
