Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Brad Karp had to walk into mine and say: > I've just verified that the wi driver (for Lucent WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 cards) > works fine with the WaveLAN Turbo cards, which offer (according to Lucent) > three times the throughput of the non-Turbo cards. [...] Wow, that's great! One question though: do the turbo cards have the same vendor and device name as the standard cards? That is, do you need to create separate entries in /etc/pccard.conf with something besides 'card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"' or do they still identify themselves the same way? If they use a different string (e.g "WaveLAN/IEEE Turbo") then I need to add a new entry to /etc/pccard.conf.sample as well. > Bill Paul: you might want to add values 4-7 to the wicontrol man page > when you've time. Will do. Thanks for the testing and the info. I also plan to move the driver into the -STABLE branch soon. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "Mulder, toads just fell from the sky!"
