Wireless Cards

[Oliver Leitner]

my personal experienced with gnu and wifi so far:

working cards:

netgear ma401 with prism modules, and with hostap, and at some early stage
with 2.4.x linux kernel built in support as wvlan0 etc....
elsa mc-11 with orinoco modules, or hostap
some "built in" thing in an ibm laptop with madwifi modules

i personal friend of mine got a few newer and no name cards running as well,
the only thing known to be troublesome to us both are those usb to wlan
thingies...

if you have problems with this ipw modules, maybe wanna give their cvs tree
or some other modules a shot.

sometimes its only adding info from cardctl to the pcmcia.opt or
wireless.opt files...
