I tried checking the compatibility of a Linksys PCMCIA card using SuSE's hardware database and their hardware certification listings. I couldn't find *any* Linksys products listed. While I was prepared for not finding the specific model I was looking for, I find it strange that none of the Linksys products are listed as Linksys sells a lot of very popular networking hardware. Is there another database that I'm overlooking? Do none of the Linksys products work with Linux? Does anyone know if the Linksys Model WPC55AG PCMCIA 802.11a/b/g card will work with SuSE Linux 9.1? Any assistance or pointers to more information will be appreciated. -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules

I know for sure that the LinkSys BEFXS41 Router works with Linux. I've used it on at least 3 distros. --doug
I have a WPC55AG on my laptop working fine. Linksys pcmecia cards uses broadcom chipset that are not supported by linux. So that you have two ways: first, you can use ndiswrapper drivers (free). Or the secnd way (I use then) the linuxant drivers. Linuxant are not free but chepper (about 19 euros) and work fine with linksys. On the linuxant web you can download de appropiate driver for your distribution and kernel. El Domingo, 24 de Octubre de 2004 19:14, Donald D Henson escribió:
