IBM wireless drivers working with non-IBM Atheros cards ?

[thibouille27]

Would be cool to have my Gigabyte GN-WIAG02 work with Access Connection

It has an Atheros chipset.

Have you tried it? I just dropped an Atheros in my t30, and decided to try Access Connections (I normally don't bother with such utilities). I had no problems (with the extent of what access connection could do.) From what I can see, it is entirely card-independent.

Well my X23 will not want another driver than Gigabyte or Atheros.

In fact I manage to replace the xxx.sys driver with the IBM one but Access Connection still does not allow me to set up Wireless Security from within Access Connection. That sucks.

Maybe with 3.82 with bundled driver...
