Some (most?) have the chip soldered right onto the mainboard.

The situation, as I understand it is not so much of portability between projects as much as it's the driver itself. When you are using it on your laptop, you are a "client" (of an AP). This (client) mode in the b43 driver is progressing further ahead of the "being an AP" mode. So it's more a situation of certain features or "use cases" of the driver making progress faster than others. b. _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
