 ! Linux Drivers 
 Prism Chipsets have great linux support any of the following drivers will work 
  
 * Orinoco 
-* HostAP 
+* [ HostAP]  
 * Linux-Wlan-Ng 
  
 The Prism3-based cards use the kernel's <tt>prism54</tt> driver. 
  
 !Linksys WPC-11 
-This CardBus card uses a Prism2 or 2.5 chip, and only supports 802.11b and [WEP]. Confusingly, the <tt>iwconfig</tt> command shows __Nickname: "Prism I"__ for this card, but it is definitely not using a prism1 chipset. It just works in Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary), where the cardmgr automatically loads the Orinoco and orinoco_cs drivers. However, my network uses [WPA], and <tt>wpasupplicant</tt> doesn't work with the orinoco driver, but it does with the HostAP driver, which doesn't come bundled with Ubuntu. It looks like Hoary doesn't have pre-compiled modules for the default 2.6 kernel, so you'll have to manually compile the HostAP drivers.

 The TarBall will be downloaded to /usr/src/, which you will have to extract and compile.
