[Prism54-users] SMC2802W V2 (prism54 nitro)

[Steve Underwood]

Hi,

I use a SMC 2835W PC card which says it is a nitro card. It gives the 
same PCI ID as your's, which is the same as other chipsets listed on the 
prism54 web site. It works with the prism54 driver (although I do get a 
few quirks, which may or may not be due to the driver). The firmware 
file with the windows driver is one of the older ones on the prism54 web 
site, so nothing new there for a new chipset. As far as I can tell Nitro 
is just a marketing names for their new Windows driver, and not actually 
a different chipset at all. They have just added some stuff to the 
driver to pump up the through, I think.

Regards,
Steve
