Where to go next? I found a guy who is working on a driver for the Admtek ADM8211 wireless chipset. I've contacted him about my 2602W card, and he's going to try to add it to his driver. Apparently a lot of low-cost cards are using this chipset now. He said he was making progress on the driver but couldn't give me a release date. I think I'm going to wait and see what he comes up with. Until then I may throw the card in a spare computer and install Win98, a NIC, and some kind of bridging software, as a temporary measure.
