What info on the Wireless card is needed to add support to LM? (Is it chipset-specific, model-specific?) BTW: there are PCI Wireless cards out there, world is not ended at PCMCIA :-) P.S. Do I understand correctly that Wireless Ethernet card support needs to be added to Linux kernel, or it can be separate module? What are positions of differnet wireless cards vendors on having Linux drivers for their cards? (please share info you have) I know that graphics cards vendors are not very keen to release specs, but may be there is something what we can do about Wireless NICs :-)) -- Vadim Plessky http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) 33 Window Decorations and 6 Widget Styles for KDE http://kde2.newmail.ru/kde_themes.html KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/
