The code in prism2.c looks similar to linux-wlan-ng, which is Prism-only. But on the other hand, the gpxe driver offers only very basic functionality, which doesn't even include WEP, so it's possible that non-Prism cards would work. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- 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
