Note, don't confuse this list with the linux-wlan drivers themselves -
which are Prism2/2.5 only drivers.

It's an incidental of that list that it lists all cards/chipsets rather
than just Prism2/2.5 specific ones for use with the linux-wlan drivers,
but it still references what cards are supported by the linux-wlan
drivers themselves.

I think you're 99.9% safe that if you can find a driver for a chipset then
any cards using that chipset will be ok.
