Bugger, pushed the keybd shortcut for send in my typing frenzy take a look at the howto http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ which tells you heaps about the various chipsets & drivers.
I have just installed a pci based aironet chipset cisco in my desktop, and used the drivers downloaded from the cisco site. It works fine I also have a Xircom pcmcia card which uses the same chipset and couldn't get it going on debian with airo.o. I therefore used the same cisco drivers and it now works fine. The cisco drivers are open source, but not GPL. The howto has an informatve section on the difference between the cisco drivers and the GPL ones, basically hte two trees are merged from time to time.
