Anyone have a recommendation for an inexpensive PCMCIA wireless card that works out of the box with Gutsy on a IBM T21 Thinkpad?
My son is a few hundred miles away & uses a Linksys WUSB11-B ver 2.8 on the Feisty desktop (Sony Vaio) that I gave him. Works like a charm, no added drivers, just plugged it in and it works. Recently on his way home from the Southern California fires (he's a firefighter) he stopped by and I gave him a T21 that I'd upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy and had working perfectly with a direct ethernet connection on the T21 ethernet port - however I'd not tested with wireless. When he got home he tried the WUSB11 on the T21; the device lites up and is recognized in lsusb, but no network. The usb port is good; wireless mouse works instantly when plugged in to the usb. I'm in the process of having him download the Gutsy .iso and will have him do a complete reinstall in the next few days as I can't figure out the problem remotely. I'd rather not do that (have him reinstall) but that seems to be the only option at this point. In the meantime I'm thinking of just getting him a PCMCIA wireless card that he can use instead. I'm hesitant to do this unless I know of one that will just plug in and go w/Gutsy on the T21. Any suggestions?
