Maybe one of the Realtek parts would work OK for you then. There are open source drivers in the Linux kernel for those. > The availability of open-source drivers may not be important > (though it would be nice if they were open-source). It's not just a matter of open source vs. closed source. Said vendors Simply won't even discuss the parts with you, let alone sell them or give docs. WiFi parts are generally referred to as 'non catalog' (eg. you can't get them via distribution). They are only available direct to high volume customers. > That would be a problem.

Honestly, you are probably better off going with a mini-PCI card (or Whatever is closest for the form factor you're targeting). You have a lot of options there and your chances of getting something working are much better. If you're doing something embedded where PCI isn't an option, you might have some luck going with a WiFi module vendor (Wi2Wi etc.), but they typically will insist on writing the driver for your platform (eg. typically some $$$ involved) and giving you the binary. --Chris -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
