Hi there; > Maybe it's because I've asked this question > everywhere, and I'm getting pretty tired of this > problem. That's still not an excuse for asking a piss-poor question. I provided you with a link at the end of my email to you; I at the very least expect that you read it. (As was said in the link: You shouldn't be offended by this; by hacker standards, he is showing you a rough kind of respect simply by not ignoring you. You should instead thank him for his grandmotherly kindness.) > One of you (not an idiot like yourself) can answer the > question.

General rule is that if someone's written one, it'll be on Google. Learn to use it and love it. As to someone who is going to write it, there are two good ways to get something done: 1) Write it yourself, or 2) Pay someone else to do it. If you can't do either, then, well, it'll get done when it gets done. You can speed it up by sending a sample of the hardware that you're having issues with to someone. (Maybe you'll get credits in the driver, maybe you won't. Don't expect that you will, infact don't expect ANYTHING in return.) > 2) They magically come out with one. Magically. Things don't just magically get written. Someone's gotta write it. > 3) There is a workaround somehow. That would be someone writing a driver, right? At the very least, someone will need a sample of the device. You said that there are `three options'. That make it sound like you're imposing that we MUST do it, "or else". There _is_ a fourth option: 4) Nothing happens. That's right. It might just happen that noone wants to write a driver, noone has the itme to write a driver, or (I know you don't want to hear this, but) No One Cares (tm). > The USB Client is a Wireless Client Adapter that can > be connected to computers with a USB port. Well duh. > The USB Client has two LED indicators and two > integrated antennas. Right, I'll get right on writing a driver for all devices with two LED indicators and two integrated antennae. (Oh how specific.) > There is NO DRIVER for LINUX. I think you've told us this. > � 2001-2002 Agere Systems Inc., All Rights Reserved Oh? News for you. Anything you send by email? Anyone's gonna copy it. /joshua (Don't like my response? Send a better question next time, namely, not one flaming me.) > --- Joshua Wise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: PS: Please don't top-post.
