I'm using a Linksys WUSB54G version 4 with gNewSense 1.1 right now to send this, using WPA, and it works almost perfectly (it occasionally disconnects and I have to reconnect). So you should be able to get it to work too. However, I can't connect using a graphical programme, so I had to set up a shell script instead, but it connects automatically when the computer starts up. I don't think there's any point in using ndiswrapper with gNewSense, because as far as I know the Windows drivers are proprietary. -- Please avoid sending me Microsoft Office files - http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
