There has been much speculation in the IRC channel over the meaning of
"DAFS" -- "Direct Access File System" didn't seem to make sense.  Can
you explain?

What kind of interface are you looking for?  802.11b or g, or something
else like Bluetooth?  For 802.11b, anything based on the PrismII chipset
will work nicely in Linux, but I don't know how hard they are to find
now.  (Many of the cards that formerly used PrismII now use a Broadcom
shipset that isn't supported as well.)
