Due to the MANY problems MANY people are having I've updated the
supported_cards page with the following disclaimer:

We have a problem. Manufacturers started buying the SoftMAC chipsets,
which are not yet supported and may never be, as drop-in-replacements 
for the FullMAC chipsets without changing PCI IDs and apparantly 
sometimes not changing even the FCC ID. That said, you are better 
off first testing a card before buying it. If you can't test a card 
and want linux support, I can recommend you just not buy a prism 
802.11g based chipset for now.

So now what? Well we have the centrinos and ralink. More to come soon

RAlink:

Anyone know if the specs are open for the ralinks?
