Re: [Nolug] wifi cards

I have an el cheapo (ie there's no brand on the card) cardbus wifi-b
card that I got sort of working. I never played with WEP, and I haven't
had time or a router to really test it out.

It's an admtek chipset, which a lot of the cardbus cards are using. The
source code is available from teh manufacturer.
