Someone may have better information, but I believe that only the 802.11b flavors of the Prism are supported. I'm pretty sure that 802.11g is only available on Prism (same name but not the same interface). It SHOULD work with ndis, though. You will need the Windows driver installation software to configure and load the ndis driver. I believe ndis is available with both Current and 5.4. -- R.
