Addendum: From the same thread, but at the bottom:
The State of 802.11g Wireless Networking in Linux (http://news.tiker.net/node/205)
The Intersil PrismGT was a hopeful contender, until the card manufacturers discovered that they can save a few cents on each card if they stick the MAC-layer processing into the host driver instead of the card’s firmware. (This cheaper type of card is called SoftMAC and will make the prism54 driver complain about “no 'reset complete' IRQ seen - retrying” and “prism54: Your card/socket may be faulty, or IRQ line too busy”). The driver is complete, functional and open, but it doesn’t support the SoftMAC cards, and the earlier hardware versions that aren’t SoftMAC are nowhere to be found, not even on ebay.
