Yes, its tough, more in a second. HostAP support is available for prism
2.5 cards, but I havent heard about it for prismGT based cards. Where is
info on that?

The netgear one is also available, WG511, and I can supply OEM XG-600s(?)
in MiniPCI as well. Might be able to turn up the SMC cards in a few days,
although the one disty I know of that does SMC doesnt show them as being
available as yet.

Pick on me c/o www.techtopia.com.au if you cant find something you are
chasing, I can always find stuff.

As more of a general note on prismGT, these are a bitch to find in .tw, a
few OEMs dropped plans for these in favour of broadcom, or the new TI G
chipset (ugh), pcrange will have cheap broadcom based gear soon, and that
will make it hard to bother bringing in anything else.

Cya,
