and on 09/10/05 23:16, Geoffrey S. Mendelson mentioned the same driver as applicable to the new revision of D-LINK DWL-G122. A few days ago I got a new EW-7128G PCI card, and it works for me using the GPL drivers linked above. The driver seems to be picky about things it shouldn't be, oopses if I try to manually set the channel in ad-hoc mode, and refuses to use 54Mbps mode (802.11g), but other than that it seems to work well on Fedora Core 4 kernel 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 i386. BTW, there's a project (same link) to rewrite the the GPL driver (which is based on the code contributed by RALink) to improve stability, but it won't become useful for at least a few months. In other news, the ipw2200 driver for the Intel 2200BG chip has a new version out, 1.0.8, which fixes some of the problems present in 1.06.
