In my experience, the kernel drivers don't work for all cards that the linux-wlan drivers do. I have a USR Robotics Wireless card which seems to use the prism2 chip; I couldn't get it to work with the latest kernel drivers but had absolutely no problem getting the wlan-ng drivers up and running--perhaps this is just something I missed myself but I found the wlan-ng system to easier and better. I will share anything about my set-up I can and am willing to help you out to get this working. Id love to see this in Debian. -- B. Mako Hill mako@debian.org http://people.debian.org/~mako/
