Have you tried the Linksys WUSB54G? I got a friend who said he plugged
it in while installing 10.3 and it worked.

(kicks self) I did it again, bought a piece of hardware on the basis of an unverified report. Oh well, luckily it wasn't too expensive.

When I plug the WUSB54G into my 10.3 system, syslog shows the following:

usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
usb 2-3: new device found, idVendor=13b1, idProduct=000d
usb 2-3: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 2-3: Product: Wireless-G USB Network Adapter
usb 2-3: Manufacturer: Cisco-Linksys
usb 2-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

However, yast is unaware of it - it doesn't show up under network devices. At this point I've got to googling for hints, not the sort of plug and play experience I was hoping for.

Did your friend say how he got it recognized? perhaps a modprobe command, a secret parameter in a config file, something of the sort?
