I just received four different kinds of cheap cards from ebuyer, I hoped to get a bcm43xx card again but you can't choose when the cards are only GBP8 each. So later I will see what can happen with the other cards that are new to me: Libertas on 88W8335 PC Card, Libertas USB stick 1286:1fab, and a Realtek PC Card RTL-8185. Thanks to your help it looks like the first RT2571-based one is a winner ;-) -Andy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
