Re: Linux drivers for TI ACX100 (D-Link 650+)

Chris,

This has been discussed on the sydney wireless group and to quote a guy 
from dlink Australia

"Hi all,

Please be noted release schedule of AirPlus Linux driver:

DWL-650+ PCMCIA Card     Beginning of December
DWL-520+ PCI Card:       Beginning of December
DWL-900AP+ Access Point: Middle of October (actually I am not sure what this
will be as the unit is obviously an Access point and is configured by a web
browser, so go figure).

We are negotiating a speedier release and as more details come to hand I will
keep you updated.

Michael Florence
Business Development Manager
D-Link Australia"

The idea of releasing spec's for the card's was questioned earlier and if I remeber correctly they wouldn't release them.

Dave
