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.
I'm right now toying around with one of these cards (A Dlink DWL
650+). I am using the FOSS driver, but I have the following problem:
- the drivers inserts fine, no crashes, ...
- but the card doesn't see my Accesspoint, even though ESSID and channel
correspond. No WEP is configured.
The access point is a KTI KW-111. The AP had previously worked with a
different card, so by itself, the AP should be ok.
I also tried ndiswrapper with the card, but unfortunately the card's
NDIS drivers need a couple of symbols which are not yet supported by
ndiswrapper.
Anybody has any ideas?
Thanks,
Alain
