I have zero success getting any wifi to work under either Gentoo or Ubuntu. I have two cards.. a Linksys WUSB54G and a Cisco Aironet 150 802.11b. I could not get the airo into promiscuous mode to scan for access points --- and could not find sufficient documentation under ndiswrapper to get the linksys to work.
So I went back to win2K on taht laptop. On 10/28/05, Chopin Cusachs <cusachs at bellsouth.net> wrote: > > > And Computer Exchange would probably let me check out the > card to see if it worked.
