Yep I've used that one. It works fine in Linux. It uses the Atmel chip set. The driver required depends on whether you get a v2.6, or v2.8 version. It should work in Mdk 10.1 without any issue. Take a look at the Atmel page on my website for details. BTW the Linksys 54Mbps 102.11g device is not much more expensive and also works well in Linux, but it does require compiling the latest version of the drivers. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
