Re: usb wifi
FYI: I have a Dlink DWL G122, can't remember the revision but it has a RT2570 chip. My Dlink AP only works with WEP. I failed to make it work with FBSD 6.2. Got some kind of GIANT error when booting. Can scan the AP but dhcp alway failed. Similiar failures with Slackware 12 and Kubuntu 7.10. So far my USB only works with OBSD 4.2, Fedora 7 (can't get ip when booting, has to manually ifup) and of course MS Win2k.

hey,
i've used some with the ural chipset, and I think a Netgear GA-11 (from memory,
sorry). both worked ok. no idea bout the belkin - best bet is to try to find
out its chipset and check the manpages...
good luck,

I've recently been in correspondence with someone (on a Linux Users' Group list) who bought an Asus WL-167G on the strength of the ural(4) manpage, and found it didn't work - apparently later versions use a different Ralink chipset which as far as we could tell is only supported in the rum(4) driver in 7.0.
