I have a DWL-G650 and it works great with the madwifi driver. However you do need to make sure it's an Atheros chipset. When I bought mine the box said "Atheros" on it. I think it's hardware rev B4, but I don't have the card in front of me right now.
There is a more "debian" way to build the madwifi modules; see this page for details: http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/tech/madwifi There are pretty complete instructions there. I can verify that this worked for me with the stock Debian 2.6.10-1-686 kernel (i.e., I didn't have to compile my own kernel). I've also done it in the past with 2.6.8-1-686. I've had great results, including using wpa_supplicant for WPA security. However I should point out that WPA worked poorly with a NetGear FWG114P, however it's working fine with a Linksys WAP-54G. -Steve On Thu, 20 Jan 2005 23:51:07 +0100, Maladrie Julien wrote: > Hello, > > I recently bought the same wireless card and it's working. > To use your card you have to have the kernel 2.6.10 (with the sources) and > the > madwifi cvs' sources.
