Works with out lifting a finger in Kubuntu Breezy. Good antenna. Just make sure you get the atheros chipset (AR5212).

Kernel (uname -r):
Distribution: FC4, Kanotix, FC5, Ununtu Breezy


I am running this on an Aopen Laptop through the slot.

Works out of the box with Knoppix and Kanotix (last time I tried -about 6 months ago). With Ubuntu Breezy I had to configure it through "Networking" GUI to see it. Otherwise it okay.

FC4 got it to work with a bit or configuring (downloading MADWIFI drivers with Firefox and allowing it to install from there...but need to keep on top of the matching kernel upgrades).

FC5 (inital release) I could not get it to work as simply as with FC4. Given time the Fedora communtiy will come up with a solution.

Regards
John

The card works using the madwifi driver. I use knetworkmanager to connect to my network and it works perfectly.
