Yes, in fact, I've been messing with it this week... On an old Latitude CPi, I found a set of simple instructions on the Ubuntu forums for my WUSB11 v2.6. I installed the kernel patch, plugged the adapter in, and everything worked great. (Except for the 233MHz processor...)
On a much newer Inspiron 8200, I did the same exact thing, and while the computer can see the adapter and change settings and all, I cannot connect. No idea. Since you mentioned FC3, I think I heard someone say that the WUSB11 v2.6 worked out of the box with it. On 7/20/05, Justin W.
