I have wireless working OK with 8.2 and 9.0 (though 9.0 was a struggle). I use, on my IBM Thinkpad 1412 (old celeron 366 system), currently MDK 8.2 with a Zoomair wireless card (prism2) that has worked perfectly with both the linux-wlan-ng driver and my personal preference, the hostap driver which lets it also act as an access point (works well). On my desktop, I currently have 9.0 running with kernel 2.4.18 from 8.2 (I rebuilt it from source) and have a WUSB11 v2.6 usb device using the Atmel driver. It is working fine right now and has for days. I AM afraid to shutdown the system because I am not certain that when it comes back up that the USB wireless will still be working (what an ordeal). Neither system locks up nor loses connectivity. praedor -- Conservatives of all times are adventitious liars. - Friedrich Nietzsche.
