[9fans] Does the Siemens SS1024 wireless PCI card work ?

[Rob Ristroph]

Hi,

        I may be able to get some of these cards cheaply:

http://www.speedstream.com/support/1024main.html

        Some usenet searches suggested that it uses the Prism2
        chipset; I noticed the "Intersil Prism-based wireless ethernet
        adapter (including Linksys Instant Wireless PC card)"
        mentioned on the Supported PC Hardware page on the wiki.

        Is there any chance this card will work with Plan 9 ?

        Thanks in advance,

It may not will work right out of the box,
but once you add the PCI IDs, there's a good chance.
The Linux pages claim the Thinkpad T23 uses the Prism2
driver, and the Plan 9 driver supports that card (the one
in the Thinkpad T23) out of the box.  It's possible they
use the same PCI ID.  You could figure it out by looking
at the Linux driver, I suppose.
