Hello,

I'm pretty unlucky 'cause I own an atheros chipset PCMCIA card that works great on all laptops except on mine, seems like there is some HW problem.

I was thinking to get a Lucent Avaya Card, that should come with a Hermes chipset. I heard that drivers are already on the kernel, and patching you also should be able to get the card in monitor and master mode.

Is there a new release of the driver that does not need to be patched to get monitor and master mode working?

I'm basically trading my Atheros for a Hermes, is it really a good deal?
