Description:
|
802.11-B Wireless PCMCIA card Version 4. This version of the Linksys card uses a RealTek chipset and is completely incompatible with the Version 3 and 2.5's drivers. I have NEVER been able to get this working with any version of Linux I've tried - Mandrake 9.2, SuSE 9.0, Debian 3.0 RC1. I've downloaded drivers from RealTek, and even LinuxAnt's Windows driver wrapper didn't work.

Wow,
You're the first I've heard of that got this card working.
I'm relatively new to this so I'm going to take a look at the ndiswrapper route. Any pointers you have would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

I used Ndiswrapper 7.0, and some of the new version 4's do not come with the realtek chip that was mostly my problem trying to get it to work. You must use the Improcomm drivers, after that evetything worked fine and have been running fast and smooth :)

I've gotten it to work on suse9.1 but you have to use Realtek's xp driver not the one from linksys.

I had Mandriva 2006 and I could not get this card to work, but yesterday I installed Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) which was released Oct 26 of 2006, and it worked with whatever driver Kubuntu automatically decided to use, I don't know how to see what driver it is, if you would like to know I would be glad to tell you, if you tell me how to look.
PS I don't know how well it works, but I can connect to my WRT54GS router I own, one with third party firmware.

This product is probably no longer on the shelves as a new item. My card (WPC11v4) has the Maxim radio.
THE native driver for this card is a SourceForge Project named rtl-wifi. Check it out, follow instructions to the letter (but I never did a 'make install') and read about my install saga there.
