Um, linux isn't really that bad with wifi as people seem to

you need is a good chipset. ANYTHING RALINK WILL DO. Why?
because they
have provided the source for their drivers to the linux community and
now there are good high quality drivers native to linux, no
ndiswrapper,
no windows drivers, just a straight up kernel module code which you
download from rt2500 at sourceforge and compile from source, so
you know
it will work on your system no matter what.
GhAaaaaa!!!
I bow to you o master if you got a RaLink card working reliably with that
absymal sourceforge driver. You are turely talented.
lol, thanks, but I didn't write the driver. they are the talented
ones. I do bow to you my master of witty sarcasm.
I've tried it. It sucked. It would drop out for no reason, did not
support half the needed utilities (scanning, signal strength measurement)
would work one boot, and not the next, and generally was a
monstrous PITA.
am sorry for ya. That driver is nice. There is a complete rewrite
going on and beta downloadable. I wouldn't use that one till it's more
mature though. It looks like you didn't though so it's beyond me what
the problem was. Sounds more like hardware.
I ran ndiswrapper on it and it was stable as a rock.
groovey.
However, WiFi still does not seem fast enough for more
than ONE connection to my backend at a time, where as
the 100gig wired network works fine for this. This is too bad
because I wanted to rum my backend wireless, but now
have to have it wired and at most only one Frontend
works wireless at a time.
yeah that's true. You can't have a boatload of wireless connections.
But then again, anyone who reads the docs at mythtv.org would have seen
the original myth developer recomending against just that. Does work
fine for one connection though, and will work great for lower bitrate
transcoded stuff. YMMV.
