OT: 802.11b/g mini-PCI card that is known to work with linux-mips (Au1550)

[Clem Taylor]

Hi,

I realize this is a bit off topic, but I was wondering if anyone has
any experience using 802.11 mini-PCI cards with linux-mips? It sounds
like many of the 802.11b/g chipsets only have closed-source drivers
which means I'm out of luck for linux-mips. I was wondering if anyone
can recommend a chipset or specific mini-PCI card that is known to
work with linux-mips. I'm using an AMD Alchemy Au1550.

                               Thanks,
                               Clem Taylor

If you look at the OpenWrt project you will see that various wireless
cards are found in the hardware that OpenWrt supports.  There are 
Prism, Atheros, Broadcomm, TI and RaLink cards as I recall.  Almost
all of the OpenWrt hardware is Mips based, some is I386 or AR7.

I have used the WL-850F cards for several years. They work wery well.
