Hi,

I have a D-Link-G650+ PCMCIA card. This card has two revisions, only the
later revisions have the texas instruments chipset which is supposed to
work with the acx100 driver from:
http://acx100.sourceforge.net/
I could never get this to work, so I use ndiswrapper. Bear in mind that
my computer, even though it has two PCMCIA slots causes the wireless
card to stop functioning if I put my Echo Mona card in another slot (no
matter which). This behaviour occurs in windows as well.
Another bad thing is that the driver does something every minute, so I
get an xrun every 60 seconds exactly, when the card is connected (at any
latency).

Cheers,
Andrés
