Is there a hardware database somewhere where people can add info?
It worked very well with my atheros based card - I tried it because I  
will need it when I find a laptop I like and can afford, but I don't  
need it for my desktop - it worked very well though with the madwifi  
driver and my cheap CompUSA bought AT&T Plug&Share PCI card.

A hardware database of what chips/drivers it plays nice with would be  
just swell for those looking to _buy_ a wifi card to use with their  
laptop in Fedora.

I hear the state of 802.11g in Linux is actually going to be getting  
much better soon, with several new drivers that are completely GPL  
headed for the kernel soon.

Only problem with such a database is some card makers commit the mortal  
sin of changing their chipset on the card, with no notice other than a  
small revision number somewhere on the box.
