Need to find prism2 chipped wlan card for linux

does anyone knows any manufacturer who build those things? I tried find, but I don't find any information on manufacturers websites.

I know, SuSE supports lots of cards, but this is going to my friend.

The Senao 2511CD (200mW) cards use the Prism2 chipset, and can be had for very cheaply nowadays, cheapest I've bought them for is ~$30USD

here is a fun hack
i aquired 2 old Dell accsess points
and found inside them a nice Prism2 based card
with coax pigtails
removed the antennas from the case and now have 2 working prism cards with external antennas

linux picks them right up and they work great

but i tried to get XP to find it ha ha and i never did find a driver for it
