The list of make/models is usually restricted to places where the wireless chip is built into a card by am OEM, or where the chip is embedded in a USB device where it is not visible. I suspect the MSI Wind 100 uses a Realtek-built PCIe card, the same way that my HP laptop came with a Broadcom BCM4312. > Please let me know if/when you need testers for it (the staging version > of the driver suffers from stability issues for me, so I'm eager to see > it replaced). I certainly will let you know. When the driver is ready for testing, it will be in the source code of the wireless-testing git tree. In the next merge cycle (probably for 2.6.35), it will be in the -rcX cycles of mainline, and finally in the mainline kernel. You can test at any step of the way. When the mainline driver is merges, the staging driver will be removed. What are the details of your setup? What signal and noise levels are shown by iwconfig? What distance are you from the AP, and how much interference is on your channel? The reason I am asking is that I find the staging driver to be very stable. It never disconnects unless I bump the RF switch.
