prism2 is the older protocol. It is support in DSL for older computers.
Still you can use your prims2 device with ndiswrapper.
I happen to have a netgear ma111 usb device and it works with ndiswrapper.
Manually configure card like this:
As root:
1. Copy Windows XP drivers for it, NETMA111.INF and MA111nd5.sys to home dir.
2. ndiswrapper -i NETMA111.INF
3. ndiswrapper -l
4. modprobe ndiswrapper
5. You can use netcardconfig - or -
Use iwconfig wlan0 commands to set your essid and key
And then pump -i wlan0
I am using my netgear ma111 to post this.
By copying the driver files to home and then adding your command to /opt/bootlocal.sh
it is easy to save these setting. |

After doing a modprobe the wlan0 device shows up.
# modprobe ndiswrapper |

| A laptop I presume? You will then need to try various boot codes. |

Perhaps one of more of the following:
pnpbios=off pci=bios noapic
or even
acpi=off or acpi=force |
