I think it's Prism 54 based (although not in this list). http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php Anyway I turned up a lot of out of date docs at first but then I found this: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List Basically it seems that even the ones with no Linux driver work with ndiswrapper. And the above doc tells you which require ndiswrapper and which have a native driver. Is it true that all Motorola PCMCIA cards use Broadcom chipsets so require ndiswrapper? Lee
