wlan driver
Hello everyone.
Has anyone worked on a 802.11 wireless driver for u-boot? I'm faced with a board that has mini-PCI, adapters aren't working for standard cards, and it looks like the only solution may be a 3.3V wireless LAN card.
There are some "standard" 3.3V mini-PCI cards for laptops, but I don't know how the connectors attach or if the magnetics are on the cards. If anyone knows, that would be useful information too.
Thanks for any suggestions (I suspect Wolfgang will respond with a URL to an archive I couldn't find) :-)

Probably. Craig A. Vanderborgh reported in January (12 Jan 2005 17:31:01 -0500) that he was going to work on Cisco/Aironet wireless drivers, but I haven't heard anything from him since.

Be careful. Chose a card for which you can get at least full Linux source code. There are still cards with binary-only HAL modules which are more or less useless to try.

Sorry, I'm afraid I'm not much of help here.
Best regards,
