[lwlan-user] ZoomAir 4001 on SuSE 8.0/8.1 - Nobody here?

[Gorka Epelde]

No idea about it, i haven't seen anything that look like it though.
Usually they include the typical orinoco, wavelan, but never seen,
linux-wlan drivers. I'm not very experienced on this, so better if more
veteran people talks about it.

Hi to all!
