    I've gotten it working with a K6/266 MB and
    a K6-2/500 MB:

     I edited wlan.conf (adhoc=y) and moved it to
    /etc/wlan.conf
     and moved rc.wlan to
    /etc/rc.d/rc.wlan
     The 'make install' didn't place them for me, as advertised. :-|

     Ran
    #modprobe prism2_pci
    #ifconfig wlan0 up
    #/etc/rc.d/rc.wlan start
    #ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.1
    /* I'm not to sure of the order :-| */

     I pinged this host from a Win2kpro host:
    c:\> ping -n 99 -l 32760 192.168.1.1
     and it indicated an 11 Megabit link with
     ~65k bytes/second.

     I'm wanting to create a community wireless LAN using a water tower
    as a passive reflector and hoping for ~5 mile radius of the water
    tower. I am also wanting to use the minimum CPU horsepower for the
    wireless<>internet gateway. This is why I'm trying to get a wireless
    device working in my old 80586x120. ;-)
