Many of the draft-N cards are RaLink RT2860, and work *really*
well, very much better than the old RT2560 cards. Besides the fairly
hard to buy (at least in minipci format) acx(4), this is the first
thing I've had running hostap better than the old PRISM cards.
Running WPA you might be interested to note this from ral(4) -
On the RT2700 and RT2800 chipsets, the ral driver offloads both encryp-
tion and decryption of data frames to the hardware for the WEP40, WEP104,
TKIP(+MIC) and CCMP ciphers.
I hope the RT2860 don't disappear now that the RT2880 cards
are showing up (at least until we have support and firmware :-)
