Description: DWL-G630 Version C2 - Atheros based 54Mbs PCMCIA wlan adapter.

Use w/ Madwifi driver for the Atheros chipset. Works well, save for a few pesky bugs in the driver.

This chipset is fairly well supported in linux, from typical client wifi to monitor and injection for pen testing. Have Fun!

Works well, as above, Atheros is well supported.

Will lockup SUSE under certain conditons... eg. if you bring it down... don't bother bringing it back up again. You need that reboot anyway, right? Other than such bugs, Works well. Good sensitivity. Monitors, injects, all such things its supposed to.

Works quite well; just follow the instructions at madwifi.sourceforge.net. For Debian, get the madwifi-old package source, and build it on your machine (I couldn't get the binary packages to install properly).

Works well. Using the RPMs from ATrpms. Also used with modules that I build from source. Haven't had any problems.
