RE: [LUG] WiFi

 

Please read the Council?s email disclaimer notification which is located at the end 
of the email message.




If you have the same model as me then try this
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400

The chipset is rt2500 from ra, they are supporting free software
development. (ra not belkin).

As far as I can tell all the Belkin "G" use ra's rt25xx chips which are
supported by the driver (ie pcmcia, usb and pci models).  I say this as a
warning because specs change while packaging and model numbers dont.

I have used all three types from belkin device with this driver and Fedora
Core 3 without any problems, although the usb unit developed a hw fault with
its connector (not attributable to the driver). I have not tried any of the
125Mbps (pre-N) stuff since Im waiting to see how the standards develop and
with a B type access point and 1/2 Meg broadband, im not going to see any
marked improvement either for internal or external network access.

Its not part of the standard kernel so you will need to do your own
compiling, but as a gentoo user you should be ok with this :-)

Tom.
