A guide to the often confusing world of early 802.11 network adapters. Besides, they are all "functionally equivalent." YEAH! RIGHT!
- Note on FCC ID and ODM/OEM info:
- FCC ID listed has been verified via «FCC OET Database»«FCC OET Database» . ODM/OEM info is often printed on the circuit board or included in the FCC data. ODM/OEM data can not be 100% verified. It would not be unusual to find more than one ODM/OEM per product.
- NOTE: It may be illegal to use cards marked with an invalid FCC ID in the US.
- High power cards (>100mW) are intended for OEM use and the FCC requires that these cards MUST NOT work in Laptop PCs.
Appearance on this list DOES NOT imply that the NetBSD wi(4) driver directly supports the adapter. Some adjustments may be necessary.

Some cards use the same Manufacturer and Product ID as Lucent for their
Hermes based cards. Oops!
- These cards are listed as using a Symbol MAC chip, however
the hardware pictures show a Harris HFA3841 PRISM II MAC on the LA4121 and an
Intersil ISL3873 PRISM 2.5 MAC on the LA4131.
- The PRISM chipset was designed to be a
superset of the Lucent Hermes. These Lucent Hermes based
cards will also work with the
«wi(4)»«wi(4)»
driver.
- PRISM 3 cards marked in yellow are known to
require firmware download -- the cards do not include firmware in flash. The only
PRISM 3 model known to work with NetBSD is the BroMax WE300 / Linksys WPC11 Ver. 3.
-
These nearly identical cards are incompatible with PRISM drivers.
- ADMtek ADM8211 is supported on CardBus and PCI systems by the NetBSD «atw(4)»«atw(4)» driver. ADMtek says that the ADM8211 cannot act as an access point.
- RealTek RTL8180L is supported on CardBus and PCI systems by the
NetBSD
«rtw(4)»«rtw(4)»
driver.
-
These nearly identical cards currently have no open source drivers.
- Atmel chipset is currently unsupported.
- Broadcom BCM4307 is currently unsupported.
- InproComm IPN2120 is currently unsupported.
- TI ACX100 is currently unsupported.
