I see that they also have a "Prism" mini-pci card. Does anyone know if it's the right flavor? I have a friend w/ a Dell X300, which has an unsupported mini-pci card. I'd *love* to find a) the make&model of an 802.11b mini-pci card that is known to work in AP mode on freebsd [w/ bonus points for being able to work at all in linux and windows] and b) the name/url of a place to order one. Trying to google around and find a prism mini-pci card hasn't been too productive. I've seen comments about ripping apart a linksys wpc11, which seems strange since it's a pc-card, but I'm not above buying some random d-link or linksys or... device to gut, if it's not too expensive. g.
