Then of course, there's also band/11n streams/... information that you might want. I'm starting to think we should remove all the numbers (pci vendor, product, subvendor, subsystem) in favour of more interesting information like that. However, as far as AP is concerned, how about we just add a little help text that explains that you should look on the Drivers page to see whether it supports what you need, and then select by driver? We could make the driver table better to allow filtering. johannes --=-7bJ5VaLvpiRGANVGAFeD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABAgAGBQJKaeBAAAoJEODzc/N7+QmahJwP/iEfzTs7ffLzoCOeMOcFlTRZ gK84I6m7tBcHqy9PvqPURGhgzGmcIQQtR/yFLdVRn3iGS62zbDfSIF0WBKPpHTQ3 A0BfqQVvN4eavahAigMDkI1ffqOhhl3qdv460cYhubV7JlbBc3mNn+BPLy0emFTr Qgv2PQmE3RWn1zvnit1jP7DSrlvpgbWV5/MxxiCmapnzeei0jnfO5rJhmLlzpnbb ElP98EcDy4NPUL9jEt66ve2Fhla47E5bPxp4nw+UIwpjUe/P3VMQ1GIRMr+oYJkW 18WiqVqBWOP7JkTD3F7J+uBEyKX8wZtYlk4X5CoAv8ikSx98fTptCCNL+Qz4Swad DQXwfFrTTVK0w9mk5EA9fxhEWnVRdn8ZAvECUMU0oSqlBluYr4p4r+wl5hxN0HW3 uXI+0TmHVsqW2NNHP2K7OA3n9Bwp8K7hJfPbTIA5Bu32Ulx71UGdEYtk//KFwGpJ NpxCpoVafDwc374bxzP0q4LxBy5kNbobd++4p6hZmEw3/pSxwC8uK32zklIlYmGB bdC3H9VAIMceVtm/0M3Gix24i7PpUy+C8F7exf1VlFFACUpQxRQXRGgSDcE6U5hb ymc2U71Z+0NH1lOEpUswExIjhtHTTpS+U77+DXLyH33oRBP9ZXe43EK6kbXw7O3/ lp3h+aglz9oSWtaUfbej =kLuv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-7bJ5VaLvpiRGANVGAFeD--
