I just buy a Netgear Wifi USB stick (MA111v2). The previous version of this stick (v1) is compliant with wlang-ng, but this new serie use SiS 162 chipset. After a little googling, i found that SiS supply a kernel module (a .c wrapper + a binary .o) at http://driver3.sis.com/linux/wlan/ This kernel module isn't compliant w/ the kernel 2.6.X. I'm not a kernel guru, but it seems to use a old task queue and irq handling. While this piece of code should'nt take too much work to port on a recent kernel, I'm wondering what to do. In fact the copyright notice is: Copyright (c) Silicon Intergrated System Inc. That's all .. So I guess this couldn't be integrated in kernel ? So my question is: In this special case, what should I do ? (I 'm unable to find a contact a SiS ..) Thanks for any help (apologize for my awfull english .. )
