hi,

new SMC cards have a different chipset, and the firmware should be 
different .... I had this problem on June this year .... and finally, I 
bought new cards :-( maybe there are news around this problem, good luck

Having checked out the SMC 2802W card on the web and seeing lots of 
reports saying that it worked with the Prism54 drivers I bought one from 
Amazon, only to discover it's the incompatable second version of the 
card.  Is there any light at the end of the tunnel (i.e. any way to get 
it working now or soon) or should I just send it back?

TBH I'm having a really bad time with wireless cards and I'm tempted to 
give in and forget running wireless PCI cards on Linux - this is my 
second card (the first prismGT I bought came off ebay where I got ripped 
off by someone who sent me a completely unsupported 802.11*b* card 
rather than the PrismGT I had ordered and then vanished without a 
trace...).  I've got a PrismGT card in my laptop whcih works really well 
but it's starting to look like the 100 ukp I've spent on these 2 PCI 
cards has been a complete waste of money.
(Alternatively, anyone know anywhere in the UK where I can get a 
*working* PrismGT card without needing a mortgage to pay for it?)

Dear Steve,

I've also bought a SMC 2802W V2 card. This card is not
supported by the prism54.org project currently. I don't
know what will be the future but this card can works under
Linux with ndiswrapper project.

The idea is the following, using your Windows Driver under
Linux. The current version of the project support this
card and my card works.

You can find more information on the following web site:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

Regards,

Louis SWINNEN.
