that makes me feel great!! i'm loading up mandrake tomorrow and have the 2.6 card.... it's my first linux install in 5 years (i'm a former-linux-geek-turned-newbie!) got sucked over to the dark side for convenience sake, but have had one too many blue screens, one too many viruses, one too many spyware scans, one too many porn popups, one too many visits to windowsupdate.....
i hope to have similar luck with my linksys wireless card
thanks!
