WPC11 version 4 card

[yussef]

I forget where i saw a post about this. but anyway the basic issue is
that the main network device companies [dlink, smc, netgear, linksys]
have stopped using the prism based chipsets, in favor of some other
chipsets, such as the amtel [search for that on teh mailing lists or
google]. afaik, theres currently no support for these new different
chipsets. and the worst part is most of the manufacturers arent even
marking the change on their box's, or even doing a revision number
[perhaps linksys is at least doing that].
I feel for you, as im having WAP woes of my own. good luck
