[plug] Anyone got an 802.11g card working?

[Alan Graham]

Thanks for this Adrian, I missed that link when I was searching for
info.  I'll check it out before deciding which card to take a punt on. 
I was looking at the Netgear WG511 (cos it's cheap in Harris Technology)
but it doesn't tell you on the box which chipset it is.  Bummer.

And Michael, thanks, I tried both kernels to get my pcmcia ethernet card
working, same result (ie, not working).  I'm going to log it with
Mandrake as a problem...

Thanks guys.

Its pretty well supported under Linux, although I have been having some trouble with it (this is most likely my dodgy laptop/kernel though). The latest 2.6 kernel certainly has support for prism54 cards. Prism54.org has a list of compatible cards:- http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php
