No, Realtek is not supported at this time. Belkin changed chipsets from
prism to Realtek and kept the model number the same. That seems to happen
a lot. Fortunately the card was cheap, and my daughter is now enjoying it
in her laptop (Windows).

There are a number of prism type pcmcia cards on ebay for next to nothing,
and I will try one of those. In the meantime, I have a question about
drivers.

The OS/2Warp.BE hardware list shows a number of such cards that use the
"Generic Prism" driver. So far, I have been only able to find:

ibmwifi2.exe, which supposedly is specific for the IBM High Rate 128 card

ibmprism.exe, which is for the mini-PCI card.

Can anyone point me to a source for the "generic prism" driver?

Thanks,
Sandy
