Hello there,

	First of all, apologies if this is the wrong mailing
list (did think that maybe mobile or perhaps hardware was the
'right' one). If this is horribly out of the mailing list topic
let me know.

	Anyway, guess the topic really says it all. I can find
linux atmel drivers (http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/)
so, is it not possible to take a snapshot from there and perhaps
code up even alpha drivers ? There are more and more 'legacy'
or old 11mbp's wireless 802.11b cards that are using this and
even new versions of some prism based cards are 'becoming' atmel
cards (the one i have that causes me the most 'irk' is the SMC
2632W v2. v1 was prism2, v2 is atmel. way to go SMC) and also
3com's (as someone on irc pointed out). 

	It really would be great to buy another card and ditch
this 'atmel' card, however, my poor funds dont normally allow
that, and others are probably in the same boat. help me get
away from 'lesser os's :)

regards 
Stef Telford <stef@chronozon.artofdns.com>
