Once you have one done, additional should be fairly easy to >> synthesize from the first. Time to say something. There is a generic PRISM 2/2.5/3 driver for PCCards with Intersil firmware, which includes lots of cards - I have tested the driver with a LinkSys WPC11 V.3.1, too. The driver is not publicly available because there is still a legal issue to be resolved. I am working on a version which doesn't have the legal problem by avoiding proprietary code which needs to be licensed, but this will take some time. with best regards Jens Glathe. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to steward@2rosenthals.com with the command "unsubscribe os2-wireless_users" in the body (omit the quotes).
