I bought a D-Link DI-624+ router and DWL-G520+ network card. I've had no luck getting the G520+ to work in Linux (works fine in Windows). Can anybody recommend another network card that I can use with Linux?
you will have to get the madwifi drivers off cvs like so:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/madwifi login (leave password blank)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/madwifi co madwifi
pretty much, ya; atheros is extremely well-supported with even these "pre-production" release drivers; hell, they've vastly outperformed any commercially distributed drivers i've seen; that and the fact that the linux kernel is active in maintaining the cards function instead of being passive like the windows kernel
I use an Orinoco Silver card. To get into details, its the WaveLan and the next gen after that. They work perfect with Mandrake 9.2 Kernel 2.4.22mdk. Good luck!
