You forgot the other part of that message: The basic problem is that in order to make linux-wlan-ng (or even just prism2_usb) suitable for kernel inclusion, so much work is involved that it would actually be less work to write a new driver from scratch (or add prism2_usb support to the in-kernel hostap/prism2 driver) So, does anyone have this device, and thinks they might want to do this? thanks, greg k-h
