Thanks to the prism54 hackers for providing Free Software drivers for 802.11g cards! As far as I can tell there are only two PCI cards with the Prism GT chipset that are rated "Perfect" on the supported cards page. Those are: Full card name Model Type Subsystem ID vendor:device Allnet ALL0271 ALL0271 PCI 16a5:1605 1260:3890 Zcom XG-900 XG-900 PCI 17cf:0020 1260:3890 I have found North American distributors who will sell me one of these, but I'm starting to wonder where the "Perfect" rating came from. In searching all of the prism54.org wiki, forums, and mailing list archives, I can't find *any* instance of someone claiming to use the Zcom XG-900 at all, neither successfully nor unsuccessfully. There are several mentions of the Allnet ALL0271, most of which consist of someone reporting abnormally low range and someone else saying that it works for them. This is perfect? Or am I missing something? Thanks! Regards, Zooko
