Re: [BAWUG] Question about Cisco cards and OS compatibility

[Stephen Ronan]

Thanks very much for this info. Now, one volunteer has this afternoon 
tried Ubuntu Linux with the cards... successfully!

He also tried Knoppix without success... I'm not sure yet what version. 
Another volunteers has loaded Red Hat on several of the computers but 
not yet had a chance to test the card. Will provide an update later along.

The Cisco documentation for its relatively new a/b/g client cards 
(AIR-PI21AG-A-K9 and AIR-CB21AG-A-K9) reports only drivers available for 
Windows 2000 and XP: http://makeashorterlink.com/?F2F632B69
       

This table alleges that the AIR-PI21AG-A-K9-10 is based on the Atheros
chipset, <http://www.networkinstruments.com/support/osup1002.html>.
So ath(4) (FreeBSD, NetBSD) and madwifi (Linux) drivers *should* work.
     

Atheros claims it too:

Cool.  Problem solved?  Stephen, if you need any assistance w/ Linux or
BSD and Atheros, there are lots of people on the list who can help.
