[TriLUG] Linksys wireless card under linux

[Rippy, Jonathan]

Thanks Lee,

I'll give that a try later tonight.  I believe I have the 1.3 revision
of the card but I don't have it with me right now to check.  I'm afraid
it might be using a chipset other than the Oronico which this forum
describes; possibly the Prism2.  I've tried booting off Knoppix to see
if it could auto-detect and configure this card, but it was unsuccesful.

Jonathan,
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it tonight, but I have a few
pointers for you...
Depending on your linksys version, the following instructions should
work: 
http://forums.gentoo.org/faq.php#11

If that doesn't work, and you have one of the newer linksys cards based
on either a TI or Broadcom chip, then you are probably out of luck until
someone writes a driver.

What model and revision is your card?

Good Luck,
Lee
