Hi Ben,

yup, I've been using prism based cards on several 4501 boxes without any
problems.
And I stand corrected - since I wasn't able to find the post that I
remembered reading a long time ago, I simply tried it - and the CM9
seems to work just fine in my 4501 (the drivers load and the interfaces
show up just fine)
So, please disregard anything I said about general issues with 4501 and
CM9 cards. I don't exactly remember what the issue was that I had with
4501 boxes and Atheros cards in the past, and I can't reproduce it anymore.

Taking a closer look at the BIOS messages you posted, it actually seems
like the card is recognized

> 0:16:0 168C 0013 02000001 0116 0290 10 3C 00 A0000000 00000000 10
This should be the card, since Vendor ID 168C is "Atheros Communications
Inc.", according to http://www.pcidatabase.com

So I guess the next question how you set up Bering uClibc - since this
is rather OT for this list, lets follow up on that on the leaf-user list.

Blush... Too much honor - there are many other people who contribute way
more to the project that I do. But of course, thanks for the kind words.
