I have used  Gentoo-latest and SuSE 8.0 successfully with my prism based
cards.  I use the orinoco_plx module because I have the pci _adaptor_ as
well as wireless-tools installed and they work great in managed mode and
presumably adhoc too.  I haven't tried mdk recently but as I recall, it
also worked.  Just remember, linux-wlan-ng is different than
wireless-tools.


P.S. Gentoo rocks. <insert distro-war here>
