[MLB-WIRELESS] Atheros a/b/g HP W500 Cards MW Special

[Peter Buncle]

Yer google it , the Netgear WAG311 is a pci card , 
(well a pci cradle with an atheros 5212 minipci under the cover)

But the pci to mini pci cradles are really cheap (bout $40) so 
i wouldn't bother hacking the card.

Cheers

Peter

The Dlink DWL 520+ is just a PCI wireless card, so I was thinking that
the
main PCI card might just be a PCI - mini PCI interface, so the mini PCI
card
would be the guts of it... might have to google a bit more ;)

I doubt it unless you can run linux or openwrt on it ,

I've managed to get all the atheros 5212 and 5211 based cards to
work so far in the wrt54g V1 and the Asus wl500g / Mitsubishi R100
by using openwrt and the madwifi drivers

(mini pci cards i've tried, toshiba a/b/g 5211 card, netgear a/b/g
wag311 card,
cm9 wistron a/b/g)

If you can run openwrt on this unit , then yes i'ts likely it may be
supported,
but you'll have to try & see

Cheers

Peter

I've got a Dlink DWL 520+, which appears to just contain one of these
laptop
type mini PCI cards. Any idea if these (or any other mini PCI) cards
would
work in it?

Morning all,

If anyone has a HP notebook & wants 54g or 802.11a support
I can get the HP W500 mini pci card option kits on a great promo until
the 31/10/05

Using this exact card is almost the only option on quite a few HP's
due to FCC restrictions which have been written into the HP BIOS,
otherwise you get 104 card not supported - system halted errors as i
found out the hard way
and i'm sure a lot of people aren't aware of. (this also applies to some
ibm & toshiba models as well)

Contact me off list,

Cheers

Peter
