I run those two items here and they work fine on 9.3. Some Wireless cards need drivers and I tossed a Netgear card in the trash because it was just too problematic... (even the kernel messages said "why didn't you buy a *real* wireless card that has some vendor support" Really it did) So you've picked the right pair.... The only problem I have noticed with the connection is that under Linux the card seems to pick up a new dhcp ip address about every 5 minutes. Doesn't happen under Windows... but in order to prevent the same under Windows I had to turn off the "Super G" feature.... So if you're having connection problems, try to dumb down the router and go from there to find out what's causing the problem.
That is how my system is setup. I only have a problem on shutting down the system. I suspect it has to do with the amd64 bit version. I will be installing on a 32 bit machine and see if it has the same problem. One thing you might want to do is turn off the dhcp and allow only mac authentication. it will add additional security over the WPA. Dr. Gavin Pillay wrote:
