Re: Support for 802.11 cards?
Hmm, this is interesting... I know that the kernel can be set to try to detect PCI devices on its own, without the help of the BIOS. Is there any reason why that feature wouldn't work with this particular type of card?

I have a PCI -> PCMCIA bridge + lucent wavelan card working fine with the GPL driver (not the Lucent proprietory one) and 2.4. From memory all I had to do was stop pcmcia-cs from using the lower io port range (there must have been conflicts with existing devices). #include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x800-0x8ff, port 0xc00-0xcff include port 0x800-0x8ff, port 0xc00-0xcff Anton - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

There is a rather informative discussion of wireless support at : http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers.html Though possibly a little out of date, the author of this obviously did their research.
