LOL.  I am from Linksys and our WMP11 changed from a Prism chip to a
Broadcom chip.  Kinda bummer for Linux users also.  IMO, I wish we stayed
with the Prism.  :(

And it is no longer PRISM2 based.  The card is completely different;  it
now uses some ADM chipset.  And it is a Cardbus card!  There are no
*BSD drivers for the new chipset;  I think that there is a Linux driver
available, although it may be binary-only.  Ugh.

I find it astonishing that a vendor would release a product with completely
different guts but the same exact name.  WTF was D-Link thinking!?

Anyway, good luck with your search for PRISM2 cards,

Kevin
