I'm in the same boat.  I have linksys wap and pccard ( prism 2.5), and I'd
like to get it running on mandrake 8.2.  I have it working with winme, so I
know the wap side is working.

If anybody has pointers, pass them along. This would make a great meeting
topic, btw, any volunteers?

I've downloaded/compiled a Hind's pccard drivers and the wlan stuff, but
I haven't had much time to play with it.
