I just got a Prism2 card at Frys for $26 - it's the AirLink+ WLC010. It
works with FreeBSD stable. When I tap on it the card has this hollow
sound that doesn't inspire confidence but it works with FreeBSD stable.
I have not been able to test it hard but so far it seems to work OK.

Then I got on the web and looked up this card. It seems to be a generic
card from Taiwan and labeled differently for various store brands - but
all using WLC010 as the part number. I found at least 3 other brands
with 802.11b cards with the same specs, photos and part number - very odd.

I have been told that I should be carefull of store brands because they
change suppliers without changing part numbers. So I would take this
with a grain of salt. But I thought I would share my experience.
