Well,

I'd be perfectly happy to try dev drivers. At the mo, my coding is poor,
but i'm happy to bug test, etc. However i had a look at the site, and
how to get the cvs/svn/whatever copy of the usb driver eludes me. It
seems the dev used a strange versioning system, that IMHO looks a pian
in the arse to use. Is this just me? or is it really that complex?

If anyone can tell me how to get that downloaded, then i'll happily have
a play with the driver (but i won't be getting rid of ndiswrapper totall
y for a while yet it appears.

| For prism USB devices (and also the new softmac PCI) a driver is
| currently under development, but I would call it more alpha that beta

| you can try it, but I wouldn't recommend it for daily use, therefor
| ndiswrapper is ATM the better choice. You can find everything about the
