Hello I have a Toshiba laptop with a Microsoft (I know) I Know) wIfI card. It has the prism 2 chipset. I am using Mandrake 9.0. What do I need to make this card work in linux?
Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance Erik

Prism 2 is quite a new chipset. The linux drivers may not be quite there yet.

I used the ATMEL drivers which support tons of cards.

This is the page of the cards they support. Not sure what you have exactly but you may get lucky
