Historically these chips have been much more opaque in terms of what one can do with them. Whilst the PRISM2 and Orinoco chipsets are very similar in terms of their register interface, under the hood they are very different. It is because of their similarity that FreeBSD supports them with the same driver, but their capabilities are far different; this is largely due to what can be done with the combination of card and firmware. > In the meantime, our USR2410 PCCARD on wi1 has been running > dstumbler without complaint for over an hour... Yes. dstumbler only supports PRISM2.x chipsets. Regards, BMS
