Hello,

I am interested in USB wireless solutions for Linux.

Did anybody had a positive experience with USB wireless card on Linux

and can share the information with us (details on exact name and model
of the USB wireless device, and on which Linux distro (and version) it
worked and which wireless network (802.11g or 802.11b,etc).

TIA.

Regads,
John

Using a Netgear WG111 (802.11g) with ndiswrapper 1.1, Slackware 10.1 and
kernel 2.6.11.7

It works but occasionally the USB interface seems to freeze and removing
the device crashes the kernel

I have posted this information before. The following link pretty much
covers the linux wireless devices.

I am using:
- Dlink dwl-g122, 802.11g USB wireless adapter
- Fedora Core 3 (FC3)
- ndiswrapper 1.1
- last 2.6 kernel updated using yum.

It is connected to the AP using 802.11g (54Mbps). No problem right now.
