Does this mean that the card is not supported at the
moment. It is surecom 9321g/2A
I just got an email from surecom telling me that the chip in their
9321g is a ralink.
<http://www.surecom-net.com/pd-wireless-9321-g_g1.htm> says
"update:20050913 2A". I guess this means that the 2A was introduced
last month and the specs are different to the older version, otherwise
there'd be no need for an update.
Comparing with the version at archive.org shows the newer card has
worse sensitivity and more output power. This could easily be
consistent with a change of chipset.
