Wireless Support

Has anyone got wireless interface to work?????  I have read the HCL at least a hundred times.

I know I have to use a Prism2 card.
I know it has to be firmware 0.3. (Where can I get this?)
I know the cards listed are:
     EWL-C11
     D-Link Air DWL-650
     FURYLAN WL-211F
     MagicLAN SWL-2100N

What PCI to PCMCIA adapter is supported?  Does it matter which one I use?

I can tell you what I have tried.  I installed a Belkin F5D6020 (Prism2) PCMCIA network card into a Belkin F5D6000 PCI to PCMCIA adapter.  This does not work.  Is it because I need the 0.3 firmare for Prism2 cards?

Any help in this area is greatly aprciated.  This seems to be the grayest are on this board.

Thanks for the post.  I now see the chipset section.  Which DWL650 are you using?  The + version no longer uses the Prism2.  Might be worth checking out.

I found a DWL 500 on eBay  DWL500

I hope this one works.  Thanks again for the reply.

Hi !
See, there is always something else - you just have to know where to look !!
I'm using the DWL-650 (as recommended) - the "+" is using a different chipset (as you supposed).
If you are going to buy it - check the price !! I've got myself the set (DWL-500 plus DWL-650) for € 47,- plus shipping.
If you get this "off the ground", please let me know -
regards,
Erich
