Hi Guys,

I'm just new and wanting to make a linux AP and the guide says you need a card with the Prism chipset. What cards have Prism chipsets please??

Cheers

Welcome to NZWireless!

Any cards with a prism chipset can be found on this wiki entry:

Shadow has just ordered some 200mw Senao PCMCIA 802.11b cards, but I'm not sure if he has any spare ones. If he has, they are ~$160. Apparently these cards have a very good send/receive sensitivity.

Btw, if you are interested in setting up a public node, consider adding yourself to nodedb (if you haven't already) so that others will know where your node is:
