I have a D-link AirPlusXtremeG DWL-G650 wifi cardbus > adapter which works fine with ndiswrapper. the problem with ndiswrapper based setup ( using the windoze drivers on linux ) - "AP(master) mode" probably will not work ( windoze like to be clients not AP ) - you may or may not be able to get it into "monitor mode" to sniff the wifi traffic - you may or may not have problems with "auto", adhoc, etc.. - you may or may not have problems with WEP and wpa - it probably will not run as fast as it could if you used a linux driver instead of wrapper - ie.. get wifi hw that is supported by linux drivers :-) "it works" is relative to what you want it to be doing and as long as the ndiswrapper machine is a plain ole everyday wifi client, it should be fine c ya alvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
