In fact I'm waiting for availability of Atheros based cards in Germany. But they are not eben announced on the European Linksys/D-Link/Netgear web-sites (i.e. I do not think, that they'll become officially available soon). (For example: Linksys offers the WRT55AG and corresponding cards in the US, the WRT54G and xxx54G cards in Europe.) Besides, having the TI-WLAN chip supported would allow use of the other half of the cheap 802.11b cards that are not based on the Prism/Hermes chip. You often can't tell, whether you'll receive a supported card or not since many manufacturers changed their card and kept the name (often from Prism to ACX100). So, having ACX100 support in FreeBSD would definitely be a good thing! Regards, STefan
