[Prism54-users] does PRISM has drivers for DWL-G520

[Bob Farmer]

There are some weird things on the supported list.

For example, the Dell TrueMobile 1300 is on there.  I am pretty sure 
that that device has a Broadcom chip.  I was curious about that one in 
particular recently because I want a Prism miniPCI device.  Can anyone 
shed light on that?  I don't understand how 40+ people would report 
successes on a totally incompatible chip.
