The thread is related to buying a card, not polling info from a card you 
have.

I'm sure I wrote this, but if I was not clear about it, the problem is 
finding a card on the market with a supported chipset (Atheros, Intel, 
Prism...). Manufacturers do not usually publish the info, neither do 
vendors. Often people may recommend a model, which is no longer on the 
market or not in the region you live. So by chipset is really the only 
way to go in finding a Wifi card.


Thanks,
