[LBo] QnA Digest, Vol 12, Issue 19

[Donald Davis]

I find it very odd that your Prism card wasn't recognized off the bat by your Distro.  Prism and Prism 2.5 drivers are pretty standard and pretty robust.  
Which distro are you using with these cards? (You mentioned several.)  (What's your distro of choice?) 
I had success with Prism 2.5 as well.  
What do lspci, ifconfig and iwconfig show when you have these cards installed?  
Is this the same computer with those cards?  
Are they pcmcia cards?

Thanks for the suggestions, Donald.  Actually, one of the cards that I 
tried is Prism and one is Orinoco.  Neither one was recognized and 
enabled by any of the distros (including Mepis).  Since you've had 
success with Atheros, I'll look for a deal on one of those.
