What _are_ you talking about?

This is an 11g card:
0000:00:0a.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Intersil ISL3890 [Prism 
GT/Prism Duette] (rev 01)

summer at gw:~$ /sbin/iwconfig eth1

Atheros also have 11g chipset(s). See madwifi.sf.net


I prefer cards that have proper Linux drivers. ndiswrapper is a bandaid.
