Show that you need Open Source drivers for Wifi.

Given my recent problem with a Netgear Wifi adpater and that the SMC worked, I thought it would be a good idea to send feedback to Netgear so that they understand that they lose customers. I encourage anyone that have returned a product that did not...

Don't recall where but i've found a link to this project

rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/w...

Actually I posted that link to the Ralink chipset here recently :-). But the issue is finding the card. Here in Montreal, all the stores seems to carry only the worst.

So far as I know, the version 1 SMC cards can usually be told apart from their newer (v2 and v3) siblings by their different sticker, usually a red-on-the-top blue-on-the-bottom wave shape accross the center of the card. Also, the V1 models have part numbers like 99-012084-163 or 99-012084-207.
These cards have worked great for me in linux, but their Windows (2K/XP) support has been shoddy at times.
