my personal experienced with gnu and wifi so far:<br>
<br>
working cards:<br>
<br>
netgear ma401 with prism modules, and with hostap, and at some early
stage with 2.4.x linux kernel built in support as wvlan0 etc....<br>
elsa mc-11 with orinoco modules, or hostap<br>
some "built in" thing in an ibm laptop with madwifi modules<br>
<br>
i personal friend of mine got a few newer and no name cards running as
well, the only thing known to be troublesome to us both are those usb
to wlan thingies...<br>
<br>
if you have problems with this ipw modules, maybe wanna give their cvs tree or some other modules a shot.<br>
<br>
sometimes its only adding info from cardctl to the pcmcia.opt or wireless.opt files...<br>
<br>
