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?)
