Hello. Does anyone know if the new DLink ExtremeG 802.11g PCI and PCMCIA cards work under SuSE ? Their own site does not show drivers for Linux, and I was just wondering if anyone already had one up and working. If it does work, does it work at full speed ? Thanks, Stuart.

Do you know of any wireless cards that will work under Linux? I'm thinking of putting Linux on one of my laptops, and would like to use wireless to my main machine. -- Penguins eat butterflies, don't they?

The 650 is ok - Prism, I believe, the 650+ is a no-no, closed source TI bits and pieces, I use a netgear ma401 , no worries for me... rgds Pete
There is 3 version of DLink 650; the latest version L1 did not work with the Prism chip. I don't remember the name of the chip; but if you want trouble get it... :-) I swapped my card with a buddy who only ran XP. Soo now I am happy with a Linksys WPC11 card.... I hate when the manufactures changes the CHIP architecture but keeps the same model version.... /Magnus pete atkinson wrote:

That's odd -- my dlink 650 is Prism based, for which the drivers in 8.1 work just fine [in 8.0 there was a tiny problem: the card-detect process was detecting it as an OEM card, not the Dlink specifically] Mind you, this is a "regular" 650, not a 650+. Also, this is 802.11-b-, not - -g-, which might be the difference between the regular and "plus" versions - -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://osnut.homelinux.net/TomEmerson.asc iD8DBQE+mXy/V/YHUqq2SwsRAlE4AKDPBrxRPxLWPOczcGHHefjsrPyE3ACgyMKc iUIIE2tI+OfBjZV+w4VRugg= =E1OR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It's a very big difference. And it's a bigger one than at first glance. I have the 650+. I believe it's an 802.11a/b card. It does not support 802.11g. And similarly, I could find no support for it under Linux. -- David Benfell, LCP benfell@parts-unknown.org --- Resume available at http://www.parts-unknown.org/resume.html

yes, 650 work fine on linux but "plus" don't work because chipset are TI and not Prism :( - -- Franck \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Fingerprint : 20F4 DBE5 7234 52D6 3610 BB17 D73C 1F7A 9E64 F6A1 http://www.linuxpourtous.com \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+mZZb1zwfep5k9qERAjpwAKCA8fksNgH6yIYSRCFNkjgmdNYYaQCgmVk7 IzMQTpa6LQt/xG+RjfZethE= =z4Kv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It happens I've been doing some experimenting with 802.11g. The first thing you need to know about 802.11g is that it's not a standard yet. There are a number of 802.11g products out there which are not compatible with each other. Hopefully, firmware upgrades will be available to bring them all into standard when the standard is settled. Second, apparently no 802.11g products are supported under Linux. Nor have I been able to find any mention of an effort to develop drivers for any 802.11g products. The only explanation I can guess at for this is that 802.11g is not yet a standard. Third, while 802.11g products supposedly are backwards compatible with 802.11b products, some can only do so by setting them into 802.11b only mode. A specific example of this is my preferred 802.11b PCMCIA wireless card -- the Cisco Aironet 350 -- and my recently selected Apple Airport Extreme access point. The Cisco card can only negotiate a connection with the Airport if the Airport is set into 802.11b only mode. As long as I'm on the subject, I might as well mention that the feature of the Airport Extreme which attracted my interest is bridging capability. The range of each Airport Extreme access point can be extended with the addition of up to four Airport Extreme access points when all are configured for WDS. However, I'm finding the useful range of the Airport Extreme to be so limited, even with an antenna, that this is really not a practical option. My recent project has been to try to extend an ethernet network across a driveway, using Airport Extremes at each end to bridge the network. The results have, so far, been disappointing. -- David Benfell, LCP benfell@parts-unknown.org --- Resume available at http://www.parts-unknown.org/resume.html
