I've been using the Linksys card; had to do minor hacking on the driver
but it works just fine.  The driver gets a vendor code of zero and won't
load. I changed the switch statement to make it not ignore it. Works
find but I don't think all the features are supported, like power
management. The wvlan driver is the one. The card actually has a
prism chip (intercil/Harris I think).

The Linksys access point looks pretty cool - everyone seems to have them
on backorder. Seems like another card and a PCI slot adapter would be
a good way to go - make a desktop system into an access point.
