# Card: Airlink101 Total 802.11 Super G, 108Mbs Model#
# AWLH4030
* Chipset: Atheros AR5212
* pciid: 168c:0013
* Driver: net5211 from [[14]]
* Other: I couldn't get the card to work with the driver
* on the CD, so I tried the driver from the above
* website. It has worked flawlessly since I installed
* it. I am running Fedora Core 3.
I'll chance it, I guess. I made atheros chips work before-
hopefully those drivers still work.
