Hi, > The card I have is a Spectec FCC ID: S2Y-WLAN-11B-G which I believe is > a SDW-823 and should use the ks7010 driver. Sorry, likely not. It is an early SDW-821 and has a MediaTek chipset for which no driver is known: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Spectec_SDW-821_%28MediaTek%29 For SDW-821 (SD size) and KS7010, you'd need a "S2Y-WLAN-11G-K" (but I have never seen one yet): https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Spectec_SDW-821_%28KeyStream%29 One can find an SDW-823 (microSD) "S2Y-MWLAN-11B-G" once in a while: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Spectec_SDW-823 > > Without the CFG80211 conversion, replacing the Michael custom > > implementation with the in-kernel one makes the driver a tad better and > > is good exercise.

Oh, and test that it works. Yes, have a look around and check if you like that task. I might have a spare SDW-823 lying around if you are up to it. But check first, it is not a trivial task. On the pro side, there are tons of interesting things about WiFI and kernel development to learn on the way :) Regards, Wolfram
