syslog output
This is what is printed in the syslog when the card is inserted and removed.
the linksys 802.11g card uses the Broadcom AirForce chipset; so given Broadcom's history of (not) providing specs for their chipsets to the Open Source community I'd say don't hold your breath for Linux support. <A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/network/20030213/">picture of WPC54G</A> Once drivers exist we'll most likely ship them. So far they don't. Since it doesn't look like drivers will exist short term I'm marking this request as defered :( |
