I'm stuck with a useless PCI Linksys WMP11... the one where Linksys swapped out the Prism chipset for a Broadcom chipset (no drivers, no specs) without changing anything on their packaging.
I am, however, successfully using the wlan drivers for my Linksys PCMCIA card. This may seem like a silly question, but have you increased the verbosity level of your drivers and checked the logs? What do they say? Mike On Tue, 2003-03-11 at 20:51, David Smith wrote: > This is a two-part question: > > I have a Linksys USB wireless adapter (802.11), model WUSB11.
