About a month ago I discovered (announced Dec-2004): http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page AFAIK this is the only 11g chipset with full spec and fully GPL'ed driver. This is important as binary only drivers (e.g: nVidia) create tough dilemmas (e.g: apply a kernel security patch and stay with non-working driver or vice-versa?) While I haven't actually used it, I have it bookmarked for the moment I'll buy a WiFi. If you actually buy a card with these chipsets, please report us. I like to buy from supporting hardware vendors (Yes Intel, this also mean I won't buy any laptop with Centrino(TM) when the vendor has demonstrated they don't won't my money [Yes, I know about the sf.net project -- but a partial implementation with missing specs cannot be called "vendor support" in my book]).
