I have done this with a Benq awl 400 on fedora core 2. Needed to compille drivers from CVS instead of stable ones to make it work.
Since my wireless hub is a older 11 Mb/s one, its useless for playing video over NFS, but it's fair enough to download xmltv program listings. My via epia motherboard comes with a built in eth0 adapter, so I've added a script in rc.local which autodetects if eth0 is connected and in case it isn't I bring up wlan0. Actualy the kernel you are using (2.4 or 2.6) could also be a important issue. > you need to research the hardware very carefully. most of the newer > version wireless stuff (especially the usb) use chipsets from broadcom > and other companies that have a very negative attitude towards linux > drivers. > > On Thu, 2004-10-14 at 11:16, skeeterskip wrote: >> I'm thinking of making mediabox wireless and don't really want to add >> a wireless card inside.
