There's a driver available today on sourceforge that supports the
Atheros 5211 which is what is in the IBM dual band mini-pci card made by
philips. I was able to compile and install it fine, and it even shows
up as a device with wireless extensions! One problem... I can't turn on
the radio! The only way I know to do this is in windows with the fn-F5
program. In Linux, that only affects the bluetooth. If I enable it in
windows and restart, it shuts off. How depressing. Anyone with a cisco
card that's working in Linux have a similar problem? How did you get
around it? It sure would be nice if we could use this!
