perhaps not such a mystery. for example I have a D-Link 650, a card that is
*not really* supposed to be used [it is 3.3 according to the info on back,
but [maybe] is dual voltage [3.3 & 5v] and it has worked fine for over a
year in my newt. no explosions yet. I also have an IBM HighRate wireless
card. this card is identical to the Lucent Gold card [which is known to
work] in every way...except that it will not work. it is 16 bit, 5v and all,
but the twist is that the name string is too long, ie
IBM_high_rate_wavelan_blah_blah, and Hiroshi-san's driver cannot accommodate
this. at the last SONUG meeting Roman T suggested a hack exists to get
around this, but I can't find a ref. so while your card has the tech specs
you need, it may have a name that is too long. :/
