MA401(RA) |
orinoco or hostap |
? |
? |
Yes |
No |
Be careful, this card is not the same as the Netgear MA401 (without RA) which uses the prism driver. The MA401RA use the orinoco or the hostap drivers. To avoid a complete freeze of the system when the card is inserted, you may have to include a line "exclude=irq3" in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. Once done, everything works well. In Dapper, if you want to use (k)networkmanager, you may want to use the hostap driver instead of the orinoco one. See this thread. |

orinoco or hostap |
orinoco |
? |
Yes |
No |
Works with orinoco_cs, but works better with hostap_cs (ie network manager works. See this thread for details). Make sure to add to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts 'exclude irq 3', 'exclude irq 4', and 'exclude irq 7'. |

The card will be recognized by the system and all seems ok, but there is no chance to get an IP address via DHCP or any other network communication (no matter witho or without encryption). There is no label on the card that it is MA401RA, but the system says it is one. It can't be the same card as described above, because hostap doesn't work at all. Accesspoint used is Trendnet TEW-310APB; card is used in a Laptop Asus A1000 |

Using either ndiswrapper + netgw111 or native rtl8187 drive, performance was terrible as an interface or under Kismet. Saw 1-3 networks vs 15 using built-in atheros. Test run on two hw samples. |

Yes (with caveats) |
Worked immediately in Jaunty AMD64. However, file transfers are limited to ~ 200 kilobytes / sec (2mbit). Worse, while this card is (slowly) downloading, ping times to the local router are on the order of 4-8 seconds for all of the wifi devices on the local network. Router is Linksys WRT54GL; this is the only device (of many) that I've seen this problem with. Reports strong signal strength even while dropping packets. |
