For those interested in the Linux based Zaurus PDA I mananged to get
the new Linksys WCF12 card working with the prism2 driver that comes
with the Zaurus so I thought I would write it down before I forget:

From the terminal type: cardctl ident
if the card says
card "Linksys WCF12 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card"
manfid 0x028a, 0x0673
then use vi to add the following entry to /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.conf:
card "Linksys WCF12 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card"
manfid 0x028a, 0x0673
bind "prism2_cs"
Save and reboot using settings, shutdown. The boot script should say
the card is accepted.... Then go to the Network and Wireless Lan
configurations to continue.

Install and run http://www.kismetwireless.net to test the card. You
can now use FTP, SSH, Opera etc on the Z. Oddly enough there is no
sync for Evolution but I just found a Perl script I'm going to try.
