Description Geoff Baysinger 2002-09-22 22:05:00 UTC
A few of us are running prism2-based cards. The support for these from the
default pcmcia-cs package is minimal at best. If at all possible, including the
drivers from the linux-wlan-ng driver package would be a big boon. 

Otherwise in my case I can't install Gentoo on the one system I have that
desparately needs it (a laptop) because my broadband comes in via an 802.11b
card in this laptop (which I want to make into a Gentoo-based
router/firewall/server). 

This is assuming that pcmcia-cs is included back into the install CD, but I
believe that is just an oversite in 1.4rc1 and has a different bug assigned to it.

I had created a bug report with ebuilds attached for linux-wlan-ng...

I am getting ready to update it with the latest version of the driver package
since it's up to 0.1.15 now.  My original post was for 0.1.15_pre7.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
