Have a look at
<http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page>. USB rt2500
aren't supported yet, but there's reason to be optimistic. Also,
RT2500:s are dirt cheap (at least in Sweden). I have a Canyon cardbus
card and it works perfectly in my x86 laptop. From what I've read in
the rt2x00 mailing lists, it doesn't seem to work too well on PPC yet,
but people are actively hunting down the big- endian bugs in the driver.

Windsurfing is a great metaphor for life. If you can get in the harness
and foot straps, then you are a person who doesn't give up after the
first try. That goes a long way in this world.
