Description: Pcmcia wireless card. Runs at 54mbps, is very quick once set up.
Drivers are available from http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/p...t#WPC54Gx20.v2 and I also had to use http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/l...work-linux.htm for further ideas on getting this to run.

Using Slackware and the stock 2.6.10 kernel in Slackware I had to set this card with a fixed ip address rather than getting it from DHCP to run. This may be fixed by getting and installing the latest DHCP driver.

This product does NOT contain the TI ACX 111 chipset. It contains the Broadcom per Linksys.

I made this card work by using the NDISWRAPPER that came in the distro CD. All I had to do was follow the instructions in the following website:
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Suse_Professional_9.x

The only thing that I did that wasnt according to the instructions was to check the PCMCIA option, the card still worked great.

I am giving the card an 8 because it doesnt work fresh out of the box with linux and I had to use NDISWRAPPER.
