[Fwd: [Prism54-users] Conexant cards -- Mostly softmac now]

FYI regarding wireless networking, this is from the prism54 list.

My advice to anyone buying a wireless networking device for Linux: be 
sure that the vendor has an acceptable return policy.

Due to the MANY problems MANY people are having I've updated the
supported_cards page with the following disclaimer:

We have a problem. Manufacturers started buying the SoftMAC chipsets,
which are not yet supported and may never be, as drop-in-replacements
for the FullMAC chipsets without changing PCI IDs and apparantly
sometimes not changing even the FCC ID. That said, you are better
off first testing a card before buying it. If you can't test a card
and want linux support, I can recommend you just not buy a prism
802.11g based chipset for now.

So now what? Well we have the centrinos and ralink. More to come soon

RAlink:

Anyone know if the specs are open for the ralinks?
