Hello,
i just got my new 3Com OfficeConnect PCMCIA card with XJACK antenna
(3CRSHPW196). It is the cheaper successor of the discontinued AirConnect
card.
Sadly i haven't found any linux driver for the card until now, but the 3Com
support wrote me that it is based up on the Prism2 chipset.
Basic information:
# cardctl ident
Socket 1:
product info: "3Com", "3CRSHPW_96 Wireless LAN PC Card"
manfid: 0x0101, 0x0696
function: 6 (network)

Any help or hints to get this card working is very appreciated.
