you already said this in an old posting. I asked about the _radio chip_,
i.e. the other (smaller) chips inside. How are they labelled?

Devices with the AT76c503a come in four flavours with three different
radio chipsets:
- Intersil 3861
- Intersil 3863
- RMFD
- RFMD in Accton design.

Each one needs a different firmware. The Sourceforge driver dropped
Intersil support in December 2002 (based on Atmel's company policy not to
support these chipsets anymore :-(. The last cvs snapshot able to handle
Intersil was 2002-12-09. With this the config script asks you which driver
versions to build (incl. the 505RFMD).
Look thru the mailing list archives for the complete story.

> The driver I am using is 2.1.2.2

Supports RFMD only (AFAIK RFMD-Accton only by editing the source -
Stavros ?).

BTW, please don't cite complete daily digests in your responses.
