We just tested the D-Link DWL-160 802.11abg USB device, and it seems to work perfectly with Linux 2.6.30 and the in-kernel ar9170 driver. We successfully connected to an 802.11b network on the PSU campus, and this email demonstrates that it can communicate. :)
As an added surprise, when we went to search for the firmware for this card, we discovered that the ar9170 driver <http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ar9170> has GPLed firmware <http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ar9170.fw>, buildable with an SH2 toolchain. (We haven't tried it yet.) We haven't tested 802.11a yet, but we think this one's a winner. - Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp _______________________________________________ psas-avionics mailing list psas-avionics@lists.psas.pdx.edu http://lists.psas.pdx.edu/mailman/listinfo/psas-avionics
