[plug] Linux supported USB WiFi

[Quintin Lette]

I find ndiswrapper works quite well, including on boot. I have had it
working on FC3 and Suse 9.2 pro on a Linksys card. With Suse I had a
bit of a problem with default gateway, but it was easy enough to get
either working, and I just added a command to set default gateway to
/etc/init.d/boot.local I think.

Cheers
Quintin
