I wanted to experiment with wireless on my desktop, cheaply. I found a good deal on a wireless usb device that was supposed to be based on atheros. It was a Netgear (notably Linux unfriendly). It didn't work, trying all the stuff that you mentioned. So I got the latest ndiswrapper (1.49) and the windows driver from the Netgear site. I works, but the firmware and other configs are stored in /etc/ndiswrapper/netwg11t. If the ndiswrapper module does not load it properly, I sometimes have to unplug the device, uninstall it with ndiswrapper -e netwg11t and then re-install it with ndiswrapper -i netwg11t.inf. When I replug it in the computer, it works again. This does not happen often, but I have found this workaround when it does. So, I can have wireless, and at 108 kps. Researching your card from a windows perspective, and then using ndiswrapper may work for you. Better in my opinion that trying just any old usb device. You might run into what I did, and then not be able to get it to work. Ed Harrison -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
