Not every ``linux support'' is a real ``Linux support''. I have two Cisco Aironet 350's--one PCM & one LMC, with the 2.4 airo.o driver, I use the LMC one for a connection to [1]local ``community network''. Despite the Cisco fame, It keeps yelling errors at me, and with Debian 2.4bf kernel it would freeze upon resume from Suspend to Disk (but all these problems may be caused by my Dell Latitude itself, it surely has other similar problems... I decided to buy these Ciscos after I searched the Internet for something that would be supported under Linux, with no need to use Windows for firmware update (Z-COM XI-626), and such horrors. I wanted Prism 2/2.5/3 chipset. It was the last June, and it was very hard to find anything that would meet my requirements. So I went Cisco, and thought Cisco was---simply the best... Now I can not even attach tcpdump, as it would freeze after few seconds... These are 802.11b, however.

Just check the browser interface is mature/secure/compatible enough. -- Jan Minar "Please don't CC me, I'm subscribed." x 8
