Hi, Folks. I just bought an Addtron AWA-100 PCI 802.11 card.
I chose this one because it said "works with Red Hat Linux"
on the box.

In the box is a PCMCIA radio card, a PCI card cage, and a CD-ROM
that has the wlan-ng-0.1.4 package on it. And, now I've spent all
day futilely trying to set it up.

In PCI configuration space, it advertises itself as a:
Vendor id 1638: Eumitcom Technology, http://www.eumitcom.com/
Device id 1100: WL11000P, http://www.eumitcom.com/html/WL11p.htm
(Eumitcom also advertises this product as being Red Hat compatible).

However, it uses the PLX Technologies PCI9052 for a bridge
(http://www.plxtech.com/products/toolbox/9050.htm). This
means that standard PCMCIA drivers won't work.

The problem is, they didn't modify the wlan-ng package at all!
There's no way that the stock wlan-ng package will drive the
9052. "Red Hat" compatibility seems to be a boldfaced lie?!

Please tell me I'm wrong... What can I do? Thanks,

        - Scott
