Will there be support for 54 Mbit devices?
It is here! rt73 and rtl8187 are fully supported! Please test on your systems and post your results to the forum so we can continue to fine tune things. Because of the significant back-end work that was necessary, Prism2 and rt2570 also scan passively but Prism2 injection is temporarily broken and rt2570 needs more work on the basic driver. rt2570 currently doesn’t capture all packets because it produces a huge amount of CRC errors; work will continue on this. rt2570 and rt73 are sometimes referred to as rt25xx or rt2x00. Prism2 users should continue to use r279 until further notice. Other chipsets have been discussed but have not been found to be practical enough to pursue. We’re open to suggestions, but wide availability of devices using a given chipset and an available Linux driver greatly aid a decision.
