GN-WMAG01
| Chipset: | AR5212 |
| Interface: | Cardbus. |
| Antenna Connector: | No connector. |
| Device Information: | 168c:0013 |
| Notes: | Gigabyte offers no support for this card in linux environment, but madwifi drivers works well. This card works in 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11g+ standards. |
GN-WLMA102
| Chipset: | AR5212 |
| Interface: | Cardbus. |
| Antenna Connector: | No connector. |
| Device Information: | unknown |
| Notes: | Gigabyte offers no support for this card in linux environment, but madwifi drivers works well. This card works in 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a standards. |
GN-WM01GT
| Chipset: | AR5212/AR5213 |
| Interface: | Cardbus. |
| Antenna Connector: | No connector. |
| Device Information: | unknown |
| Notes: | Seems to work mostly OK with Madwifi 0.9.3.2 drivers. Associating with access point using WPA worked with wpa_supplicant. Haven't tested the > 54 Mbps rates yet, as I have no access points being capable of those speeds. However, connection is dropped a few times a day. Don't know whether this is because of wpa_supplicant or madwifi drivers. |

| Notes: | Works with Ubuntu 7.10, signal strength ok, but poor link quality and low bitrate. |
GN-WI01GT
| Chipset: | AR5006EG, 108Mbps,b/g |
| Interface: | Mini PCI Express |
| Notes: | Works great with Network-Manager in Ubuntu with latest MadWifi snapshot |
| Notes: | Is this actually a WI01GT? If so it should be AR5006EGS, XR, 108Mbps, b/g |
| Notes: | Works from HAL version 0.9.18 onward. This card was not detected with HAL 0.9.17.2 (which happens to be the version found in madwifi-ng-0.9.2.1 in Gentoo portage as of Feb. '07). Gentoo users should install from the tarball provided here until portage is updated. |
| September/October 2006 | |
| Notes: | I just changed my Intel Pro Wireless 3945 against this device in my Dell D620. Works great (out of the box) with gentoo kernel 2.6.23. |
GN-WI01HT
| Chipset: | AR5414 aka AR5006XS Single Chip Solution |
| Interface: | MINI PCI |
| Antenna Connector: | 2x UFL HIROSE CONNECTOR |
| Device Information: | unknown |
| Notes: | Works fine with madwifi code. Except the 5 GHz outdoor-channels for germany (>64), except tx-power-settings, except the changing of country-code. And some other important restrictions (e.g. restriction to 39mW for 5 GHz. This card is not for end-users available in germany. Gigabyte doesn't even support this card. With some other software except madwifi :( you can override/ignore the restrictions. |

GN-WP01GT
| Chipset: | (my windows driver says) AR5211 (802.11a+b/g) |
| Interface: | PCI |
| Antenna Connector: | External Antenna with Reversed SMA |
| Device Information: | unknown |
| Notes: | Manually compiled the 0.9.1 driver in Gentoo Linux using the newbie instructions and works perfectly. Also in Gentoo the madwifi-ng ebuild (which is dated Feb 2006) works perfectly. Unable to get the card working in the current 16/07/2006 Knoppix distro; the card was able to scan for networks and showed networks, but I was unable to connect to any of them. This is more likely to be a problem with me than Knoppix so give it a go if you have this card. (anonymous contribution:) Works out of the box in Ubuntu 7.04 Beta, though signal strength is reported to be lower by the nm-applet. Personally I've been unable to feel any difference performance-wise. |

| SUSE 10.2 | compiled from source, and use knet to pic networks , need to run "modprobe ath_pci" somtimes after updates , seems as if it should also be fime in AP mode, but waiting for another pair... |
