no wlan-ng or hostap driver for hoary.

[discord]

This may sound more like a feature request than a bug. Hoary does not include a
driver for the prism2 pcmcia chipset. This is one of the most common chipsets
available today. One of the reasons why I switched from debian to ubuntu was
what I believed to be better hardware support. I am finding it to be about the
same. Anyway back to the issue. Some of the best wireless hardware available in
terms of power are the prism2 pcmcia cards. There are quite a few cards on the
market with 200mw tx power which people pay alot of money for. If Ubuntu wants
to be the best distro then it should support these cards with both the wlan-ng
driver and the hostap driver.

any other chipsets which a high transmitting power and it is used along with the
