Yes, for the miniPci PRISM 2.5, pcwl has problem under heavy traffic. I think Garrett is the only one in Sun who know how to fix it since he signed NDA to get support from chipset vendor and know how to fix it. For daily use, I think the pcwl can meet almost all your requirement. I had ever used prism-II miniPci to transfer 2G files without any problem. Of course, just as Garrett said, Tadpole's ipw is a good choice, especially when you run s10.
