Someone may have better information, but I believe that only the 802.11b
flavors of the Prism are supported. I'm pretty sure that 802.11g is only
available on Prism (same name but not the same interface). It SHOULD
work with ndis, though. You will need the Windows driver installation
software to configure and load the ndis driver.

I believe ndis is available with both Current and 5.4.
