I can second this. I'm in the UK and have been using two of these (one in access point mode, and one in normal mode) to stream mythtv for over 6 months. The driver has been present in the kernel for ages, so all you need to do is drop the firmware in the right directory. And it's real firmware, not some dodgy binary blob run on the host processor. Got mine from: http://www.allnet-shop.de/oxid.php/sid/e115acea746ae2f54c9d7d835a0e32a0/cl/details/cnid/a84406f22b2ede837.19256220/anid/55a42aa04395d91d3.73886515/Wireless%20PCI%20Adapter%2054%20Mbit%20ALL0271/ I don't speak German, and the bloke at the other end didn't speak much english, which made it fun. :) The shop guarantees that it works on Linux and the price has come well down, looks like a real bargain now. Cheers, Martin. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
