if you want 811b, prism and off you go. for g madwifi (still proprietary
hal - taints kernel) and atheros chips are nearly your only choice, i
use netgear wg311-T- (311-- has no more atheros chip, ti), dont buy
online, open packages at the dealer and look for the chip, they change
chipsets nearly with every new revisions. most linux compatibillity
lists cant catch up with this. all linux g is experimental, but hermes
should do with go too.

ive heard prism g manufacturers change to maybe never supported softmac
chipsets, out too, then...
