And from my own experience I know that Broadcom is not supported (yet).
<br>
The manufacturer has not released specs. There is even a petition on
the internet to persuade<br>
broadcom to release specs. <br>
<br>
We definitely need support for the newer chipsets as well. The old
11Mbps cards are rapidy disappearing from stores. The new 54Mbps cards
(802.11g) are not that much more expensive than the 11Mbps cards.
Linksys also used the Prism chipset on their 11Mpbs<br>
cards but is now also using broadcom on their newer cards. <br>
<br>
I had to spent quite some time on the internet to find a supported card
for <br>
linux and someone who could sell it to me. I finally settled on a 3Com
Airconnect card. It appears that Sweex could also be used, they also
have linux drivers on their site. Linux support for current WiFI cards
is getting thin..<br>
