10 Have a look at
11 <http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page>. USB rt2500
12 aren't supported yet, but there's reason to be optimistic. Also,
13 RT2500:s are dirt cheap (at least in Sweden). I have a Canyon cardbus
14 card and it works perfectly in my x86 laptop. From what I've read in
15 the rt2x00 mailing lists, it doesn't seem to work too well on PPC yet,
16 but people are actively hunting down the big- endian bugs in the driver.

21 Windsurfing is a great metaphor for life. If you can get in the harness
22 and foot straps, then you are a person who doesn't give up after the
23 first try. That goes a long way in this world.
