i'm a bit confused. do the samsung cards work with the prism2_cs driver
too?

the compaq WL200 cards are hard to find, but the samsung SWL-2100P is
still in production AFAIK.


(i'm about ready to settle for a dlink 520 card because i can get them
easily, but if i can find one of the higher power compaq or samsung
cards, i'd prefer to get that)
