Description: PCMCIA WLAN adapter. Worked well once I figured out all about iwconfig, etc. Has a great range, and is very stable. The trick: have it in during install.

Excellent card.

Works with the kernel tree drivers for managed, ad-hoc and rfmon modes.

The firmware should be downgraded to version 4.25.23 (from the cisco site) here (you'll need a username and password):
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Software/Tablebuild/doftp.pl?ftpfile=/cisco/crypto/3DES/wireless/aironet/firmware/350/350-PCMCIA-LMC-PCI-v42523.exe
if you want to use rfmon.

Highly recommended for normal use and, if you're so inclined, wardriving.

works perfectly out of the box with ubuntu on an open network... but i'm having great trouble getting it to work with wpa encryption. The drivers that come with ubuntu don't support wpa encryption.

Despite the positive reviews I cannot get this card to work at all under Linux. Card works fine under XP, have tried many different distributions (Ubuntu, BackTrack, Knoppix and more) which all detect the card but seem unable to control it whatsoever. Drivers/firmware/utilites are all unreasonably onerous to obtain from Cisco and poorly supported under Linux, would highly recommend buying something with a Prism2 chipset instead.

I was able to intall the PCI version in my slack box.

The default kernel config, saw the card, and the card
saw the network. I need to edit my rc.inet1.conf file
for DHCP.
