I will probably get flamed for saying this, but the Microsoft MN-520 works with Mandrake 9.2, and I would think 10.0 I think it also works with XP. ;) On the other hand, it doesn't exactly work 'out of the box' in Linux. You have to add 3 lines to the pcmcia config file so that the proper driver is loaded for the card. If they have any left, Office Max was closing them out for less then $20.

Mikkel;
I just ordered one of these from J&R Music (no luck at Office Max). Can you provide a pointer to the proper install/configuration to make this card behave well (the 3 lines you mentioned, specifically <g>). TIA;

In /etc/pcmcia/config, in the "Wireless network adapters" section, add:
card "Microsoft Wireless Notebook Adapter MN-520 1.0.3"
version "Microsoft", "Wireless Notebook Adapter MN-520", "", "1.0.3"
bind "orinoco_cs"
The system will then find the card, and the normal wireless configuration tools will work. I am only working with one access point for now, so I have not played with any of the scripts that will manage the setting for more then one. I do have the card working with 40 bit encription, and I will play with 128 bit encription one of these days.
