"good" is relative ...

since few people say, get an orinoco based card or prism based card or 
their fav-driver based card .. 

	which card has which chipset ??
	or which chipset is on which card

for prism-based cards

i used the netgear wg311 .. works okay between tow wg311 cards
but no other wireless card seeem to be able to connect
	- another wireless guru came by and said that its
	not broadcasting tag3(??) so other cards cant find
	the wg311 based ap
	( guess its now a hardware based security feature :-0 )

	netgear wg311 uses the atheros ( madwifi driver )

more wl driver stuff
