I have a Dlink DWL-520+ that is working quite well under Fedora Core 3. I'm using the acx100 drivers from http://acx100.sourceforge.net, which have to be compiled, but its nothing too tricky. Once installed, I startup the connection to my Linksys WRT-54GS running HyperWRT with the following in rc.local. /usr/share/acx/acx100/scripts/start_net iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxxxxx rate 11Mb/s encr xxxxxxxx lspci shows: 02:0e.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 100 22Mbps Wireless Interface My system is a combined front/backend so I only need enough speed to reach the net for updates/weather/news/etc. Its been very stable from 3 rooms away from the router inside an entertainment center. Happy to help if you need it. - JM _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
