is there a driver for the Linksys wusb54g out there


When i started using linux i thought that all my devices would have a driver that would work with linux as on windows however when i began to setup my wireless network i began to have difficulties the main being that linux would not recognize my wireless devices. The ones i am currently using are:

WRK54G and WUSB54G both made by linksys does anyone know of a place where i can retrieve a driver which would resolve my crisis.

Welcome to LQ!

The WRK54G shouldn't need a driver since it is a router and shouldn't care what OS the computer is running.

A quick look through the HCL shows that most users of this card are using ndiswrapper since Linksys is one of the manufacturers who generally refuses to support Linux. Ndiswrapper is a program that allows you to use the Windows driver for the card in Linux.
