Can I ask a question and offer a friendly suggestion?

I think replies to this topic could be even more helpful if folks could indicate in each case the exact conditions of whether something works or not. i.e. you plug the card in... and then exactly what did you have to do? (some folks have done this in their replies, some haven't)

Now, I'm looking for a USB stick, 802.11b, cheap, whatever. I'd like to just be able to plug it and not have to compile drivers or anything. Is there such a beast and can it be configured with a GUI built into DSL?

generic prism 2. had to edit /etc/pcmcia/config add the lines:

Card "PRISM2"
manfid "0x52C0","0x7300"
bind "orinoco_cs"

then it works ok, but it won't search out ap's and give me a list of active sites

Linksys WPC11 V.4 with ndiswrapper

mounted the driver disk on /cdrom
cd /cdrom
ndiswrapper -i lsrtnds.inf

added to /opt/bootlocal.sh:

modprobe ndiswrapper
sleep 5
pump -i wlan0
sleep 5
echo "network up"

By the way, insert/remove cards doesn't work - /etc/init.d/pcmcia points to the CD-ROM, but the script on the CD-ROM points to itself! What's up with that?

DWL-122 USB works great (using it right now) on DSL 0.8.3 using a little shell script to connect to access point. $20 recertified from tigerdirect :-) Works in my Tivo Series 2 as well.

Im using it in the usb port of a Thinkpad 560z, but I also tried using it in a Zonet USB2 PCMCIA adapter and it worked great there as well.

Couldnt get airsnort to work in either config tho.

Airsnort can take a while to pick out the WEP.
