I've been bitten by that one. That's how I learned to ask on mailing lists before buying :-/
Apparently the DLink 650+ has the new, proprietary, non-yet-reverse-engineered chipset. The 650 seems to have tons of support on linux and *bsd. I didn't look carefully enough and bought the new one, and have since sold it, for less than I bought it for, of course. Grr. Thanks for all the advice. I'm now armed with info, and off I go hunting for deals! -ken ------- On Thu, Apr 03, 2003 at 03:45:47PM -0800, Kevin Lahey wrote: > On Thu, 3 Apr 2003 13:09:23 -0800 > Tyler Chao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > DWL-650 is not a Linksys card.
