The card itself is sold with multiple different chipsets at different times, I guess depending on pricing from time to time. This does not work at all. but there are multiple scripts out there that lead to hours and hours of frustration. How much is an hour of your time worth? Go with another card even if you have one of these lying around.

The card works fine using openSUSE 10.2 if using the Windows XP Driver available off the internet and ndiswrapper. I tried using the windows driver off of the CD that came with the card but got errors trying to set up WEP 128 bit encryption. I wish there was a GPL version of the driver available.

Got it to work using Ndiswrapper under Dapper (Ubuntu 6.10 Beta). It is important to disable the Broadcom driver preloaded in the kernel as that will interfere.
The linux broadcom driver is still very buggy.

Got it to work using the NDISWrapper toolset (ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net)and my Windows drivers under Knoppix 3.7 which has graphical scripts for configuring it. NDISWrapper will work under other Linux distros but with a bit more manual editing of configuration files.

This is an 802.11g wireless PCMCIA card. At present I can only get this card to work with the non-free driver wrapper ($20) from linuxant.com and the Windows driver. Given that, I've gotten it to work fine at numerous unecrypted access points across the US city where I live (Starbucks, Panera, etc). Haven't successfully tested encrypted wireless. I'm running Debian v3.0 unstable with Kernel v2.4.25.
