It should be possible to find Windows drivers for the devices, unpack them and identify what chipsets they are for. It may happen that different revisions of the same hardware use different chipsets, so be sure to check all of the revisions. The unpacking can be done by running installers in wine or by using popular archive programs, such as cabextract, unshield, unzip, unrar and lha. Identification of the driver can be done by looking into *.inf files or by using the "strings" command on the *.sys files. As for the draft 802.11n devices, Intel and Atheros chipsets are currently supported, except Atheros USB (the work on it is underway). -- 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
