Try to stay away from those, even if by now there's a FOSS driver
available at http://acx100.sourceforge.net/ - because it's
x86-only and certainly because of the extremely stupid politics
of TI in this matter.
then there are centrino's.... drivers to be
released soon...
Where did you get the "soon" from? There's been talk about this
for ages, but the *รง%&/ thing still isn't available, and AFAIK
Intel didn't say anything about a date when it should become
available. Oh well, now that 11 Mbit/s WiFi is almost dead,
they won't see a "need to keep it secret" any more.
Yes, you can use the commercial Linuxant thing, or the free
ndisloader, along with the Windows drivers, but that's a kludge.
have a nice day,
