Hi there

I have here several WL11000 boards, with linux preloaded
(http://opensource.instant802.com). They are sold as
SMC2655W, SMC2652W, USR2450 and other labels

from what I can tell, it's more or less the same hardware of
RG1000s, but with a little more flash (1MB) and a prism card
(with thertiary firmware 0.7.5, which is somewhat old) instead
of orinoco

as there is plenty of info available from the openap project
for this board, I wish to know if Karlnet couldn't afford trying 
a direct port of its RG1000 software to this unit, so it can 
become a TC low cost CPE

I was planning to include the linux TC support on it but, from 
what I've learn on this list, the linux TC driver isn't being fully 
supported anymore (my running system uses kernel 2.4.20),
and it uses old wavelan_cs (the unit runs hostap_cs driver
and the orinoco_cs driver also seems to work)

nevertheless to say, Karlnet firmware could make this beasts
run like a rock, if there is enough interest to try a port

What did you guys from karlnet say about my idea?

TIA, !3runo
