Look at the windows driver for information. Seeing this is not currently available on their site, tell them you lost the cd for your card and want the driver. If the .inf file does not contain the required information, you can look for tidbits in the .sys files with strings. Linksys seem to provide zip or self extracting zips in general so you should be able to get at these files. If not cabextract and unshield from ports can come in handy. > 2. Why are such information not available to their customers? Perhaps they want people to buy from them because of their brand name rather than the chipsets they use, which seem to be whatever happens to be cheapest that particular week.
