Hi! Thank you for your reply.
I am not sure what you mean with PRISM 2? There seems to be both
PRISM II and PRISM 2.5. Your card appears as a 2.5, but would a
PRISM II work as well? I am namely thinking of the widely available
Nokia D211, which is apparently PRISM II.

For a wired connection (I don't usually connect to wireless networks
unless I REALLY need to), I was thinking of a DLINK DFE-670TXD, which
has a 16-bit bus, but I could not find any information about its
chipset, or any mention of it in the NetBSD documentation, so I'm
not sure.

Thanks!
