| 00:15.16 | SquareRt | directhex: that ralink 802.11b is better than the prism 802.11g with unofficial open source drivers? |
| 00:16.04 | qoreqyas | imi: that depends on so many things, i guess you should use a clock and try it |
| 00:16.18 | directhex | SquareRt, no, but cheaper. prism stands as the standard everyone needs to work to, but the bastards are tricky to track down in this country, everything uses broadcom |
