This is not really a correction per say but the prism54 drivers
available at http://prism54.org appear to be open-source and work with
Intersil chip set that supports 802.11g.  At least that is what works
with the D-Link DWL-G650 card that I have.  Note: there are several
versions of this card some that use the Prism54 chip set and others that
I believe use the Atheros chip set.  So watch the revision numbers (or
letters) on these cards.
