Well. Looking at Intersil's site, the Prism I reference design uses the AMD PCNet/Mobile MAC. This is the 2Mbps design. The Prism II and 2.5 are the 11Mbps designs, and the schematics aren't available on the web (you have to buy a set). However, the Prism II and 2.5 stuff isn't so easy to get at. Having said that, the Linux-WLAN stuff supposedly suports them all. I think the 3com card is probably using the Prism 2.5; can you check the Harris/Intersil chip nearest the PCCARD connector? It will probably be an ISL3873. There's a datasheet with limited information at http://www.intersil.com/prism/wirelesssb.asp Hope this helps. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.
