!! Operating Systems

!!! WindowsXP

Windows XP doesn't have the drivers available by default, you will need to install them seperately.



!!! Linux

Because the WL100 uses the Prism chipset, it is possible to use the device in HostAP mode.



!! Firmware

1.4.9 is the latest stable Prism firmware.  A flashing tool has to be hacked to flash this however. I managed to use a Dlink tool and a copy of the firmware hex file to successfully flash my WL200. (Sneeze)
