Except that the driver would have to be updated to recognize the Linksys
card's ID string. The only way to do that would probably be to send
Hirochi Noguchi (the creator of the ATLAN driver, and my personal hero :)
a card so that he can work on it. If you want contact info for Hirochi, I
have it around here somewhere - or you can search the list archives (at
Newton Resources - link just four lines down)
