Is my wireless PCI card compatible?

I have an Xterasys model XN-2523G wireless lan card. According to the Xterasys site, there is no Linux driver available for this card. Does anyone know of a driver that will work with it?

If you looked at the Xterasys site then you should have noticed that the chipset is a Texas Instrument 'TNETW1130' by looking at the table. You need to do a little work for yourself. Heck google and LQ searches would get you loads of information on drivers for the chipset. You could always use 'ndiswrapper' and the M$ driver.

These drivers seem to be the only ones supporting TI chipsets:
http://acx100.sourceforge.net/

Your card is listed here:
http://acx100.sourceforge.net/matrix.html

But, it is not supported.

It isn't listed on ndiswrapper either, but it may be worth trying it out, it may work.

Thanks for the info. I think I have the ACX111 chipset. The ACX100 is only 11MBPS. I looked at the ACX100.sourceforge.net project site and may have found a way to manually install a workable driver.
Thanks
