You point people towards the Linux Wireless Howto to find what
manufacturers use the Prism II chipset which funnily enough, says that
the nokia cards are based upon Prism chipset. Sure their first ones
where based upon the Prism I chipset, and later, apparently used the
Prism II chipset. If you're going to reference people to other sites,
shouldn't you be checking the integrity of the information?<br>
<br>
Obviously this card has come up before if you already know the problem
with it and so obviously someone else used the information that your
website has pointed to and drew the same conclusions as me. Thus, there
is a problem in the information given.<br>
<br>
Sure the howto is not your responcibility BUT if you're going to
reference it, you should either ask the maintainers of that howto to
note exceptions within their document based upon your own findings, or
provide the information in some other way such as having a page listing
cards, that although may appear to have Prism II chipsets, do not.<br>
<br>
Lets have some integrity in the information rather than a "I know it's not, you should too" type attitude.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/2/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jouni Malinen</b> <<a href="mailto:jkmaline@cc.hut.fi">

<a href="http://hostap.epitest.fi/">http://hostap.epitest.fi/</a> lists<br>three supported chipset versions: Prism2, Prism2.5, and Prism3. As far<br>as I can tell, Nokia C110 is not using any of these and as such, it is<br>
not really an exception.<br><br>If someone claims that it is based on Prism2, Prism2.5, or Prism3, I<br>would suggest opening up one of the cards and looking at the MAC chip<br>and comparing it to list of MAC chips used in Prism2/2.5/3..
