Re: [uug] Linksys WPC11 Wireless Problems

[Adam Olsen]

Well, this particular saga is over for me.  I found a wireless G pcmcia 
card that works in Linux, so I sold my linksys to my boss.  The card I 
bought it the SMC2835W card, which worked immediately after using a 
patch from http://www.prism54.org.  The card works great and was easy to 
install if you patched and compiled a kernel before.

Thanks,

Adam Olsen

Actually, some hardware vendors will work with you.  I recently bought a 
Belkin wireless PCI card for my computer, hoping to use my box as a 
wireless access point using hostap.  The card I had chosen didn't 
specify which version of the model it was.  I needed the prism chipset, 
and they had changed chipsets with the card version change (same 
model--why didn't they change the model??)  Anyway, when I realized 
this, I wrote to Belkin's technical support, and he promptly told me to 
send him the card, and he would replace it with what I needed.  The 
service was great.
