Das muß jetzt wieder eine ganz besondere Definition von »fully supported« sein, die sich dem normalen Anwender aber wohl nur schwer erschließt. Was habe ich gemacht? Ich habe USB-WLAN-Adapter wiedergefunden, ein paar Jährchen alt, von Acer. Drin werkelt ein Prism2, unter 2.4er Kerneln so um RedHat 9, Fedora Core 1 herum tat das recht gut (und 11 MBit/sec brutto waren damals auch noch relativ fix, für Wireless). Ubuntu 7.10 hingegen verschmäht ihn — mit der Meldung »fully supported«. Nee, iss klar …
