had to go into the driver settings to find anything out. looks like the driver
was made by broadcom - so i'm assuming it's a broadcom chip. of course that
means there's no support with linux right?

We can't tell you until we know what's in the card. You could boot
Knoppix to find out, or in Windows:
Start/Settings/Network Connections
Choose the wireless card, right-click, properties
Choose General/Configure
It well tell you stuff about the card. Windows says of my card,
"Orinocco" (the brand) and "Agere Systems" (the chipset
manufacturer,
way more important then the brand) abd Driver/Driver details says "Lucent."
The printing on the outside of the card says "Wavelan," more recent ones
say "Orinocco."
