There is a whole thread over at NetStumbler.com about upgrading and
hacking the firmware of many different brands of cards to make them
Lucent WaveLAN Gold cards.
There were many 802.11b cards made using the same chipset and have the
same technical specs. If you can make it through the long ( and I mean
long!) thread, you can find out how to change many different branded
cards and/or hack the features like adding 14 channel support.
I complied a list a while back (when I was keeping up with the thread)
of all the brand and model cards that can be updated/changed/hacked
that are all based on the same chipset as the Lucent WaveLAN cards.
I'll have to find that list....
