802.11b, sure. That's the Orinoco driver. But 802.11g? I'm not sure
about chipset support for this under Linux.
You can flash older silver cards to gold cards with the correct
firmware. Some APs that used the Orinoco cards actually would
auto-upgrade the firmware on a Silver card.
Me? I'm a fan of old school cheap Prism2 cards (I've learned to love the
hostap driver) or Cisco Aironet cards. Had I the budget to buy new toys,
I'd like to have some of the newer chipsets to play with as well.
