The Arasan adapters are in very short supply here, and honestly they have enough issues that we're looking for better options. A possibly better approach would be a device with a BCM4329 on the motherboard (e.g. table, phone, etc) that can run a relatively stock linux kernel. However, I don't know of a specific platform at the moment to recommend. A second choice would be something with a decent sdio controller built-in. Some older laptops worked ok (e.g. Dell E4100), but they're more and more diffucult to find. - Henry _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
