<br>
After a day of combing the shops and googling to try and get something that
works I have settled on<br>
a D-Link DWL-G122 Hw: B1 <--- this is the important bit. The Hw rev is
written on the bottom of the <br>
dongle, but nowhere to be found outside the box. I just crossed my fingers when
I bought it..<br>
<br>
This works with the RT2570 driver from here<br>
<a href="http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads">http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads
</a><br>
The new rt2x00 driver loads and talks to the card but can't do WEP or even most
things yet. The<br>
RT2570 driver "Just worked". Gotta love that.<br>
<br>
Also, a 3COM 3CRUSB10075 (Has WL-545 written on the box also). <br>
<br>
Now this one is supposed to be supported by a driver in sourceforge<br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/zd1211">http://sourceforge.net/projects/zd1211</a><br>
However it refused to function with this device.. <br>
<br>
Having said that, 3COM have been kind enough to post an unsupported driver that
works just dandy (if<br>
you can tolerate some dmesg noise and the odd "Basness in usb_unlink_urb
at<br>
drivers/usb/core/urb.c:461" Message (Have seen no ill effects from this
yet, only happens on <br>
ifdown/unplug sometimes<br>
<br>
<a
href="http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/result.jsp?selected=all&sort=effdt&order=desc&sku=3CRUSB10075">http://www.3com.com/products/en_US/result.jsp?selected=all&sort=effdt&order=desc&sku=3CRUSB10075
</a><br>
<br>
Thanks 3Com for a driver of any kind that works, and thanks Ralink for fully
GPLing your driver(s)<br>
<br>
I actually just went to pick up a 11b dongle but could not actually find
*anywhere* here that sold<br>
them, so ended up getting the two that looked the most linux compatible in the
hope I could at least <br>
make one of them work.<br>
<br>
Never know, this might help someone.<br>
<br>
On another note, just Re-Celled my Li-ION batteries and am Luuuurving the 6-7
hour normal runtime on<br>
a PIII-M laptop :p) (Down to 2.5 hours running continuous kernel compiles in
parallel with <br>
continuous updatedb)<br>
<br>
Having said that, it now takes 6-7 hours to charge a battery :\<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Brad<br>
