[9fans] Wireless cards

[theotherjimmy]

Hello,

I was wondering if Plan 9 supports wireless Ethernet in its current
state. If it does (and I just can't find it), could you please give me
a link to follow. If it does not, I guess I will just begin to analyze
my current wireless driver (for Linux) madwifi.

Thank you for reading my first post,
Jimmy

Yes, see the supported hardware page Devon linked. In
summary: we have a few, not many. We could certainly
use more. We have enough that you can likely find one
that works, but not enough that what you happen to
already have already works (unless you're like me, and
haven't bought a wi-fi card since the Orinoco).

sorry for not posting more information; I have an Atheros based pcmcia
card.

I will begin porting madwifi because I have more time than money and I
think others will benefit.
