	It's probably not much help, but I never got it to work on my system 
after multiple attempts at following advice found on the net. However, 
it was obvious from forum entries that other people had been successful.

	I tried latest versions of Fedora, Mandriva, Dream Linux, Linux Mint, 
Vector Linux, Open SUSE, and Open Solaris. Couldn't get wireless to work 
in any of them.

	I then installed Xubuntu where it worked out of the box. No idea why 
the difference, and since it now works I've not looked any further. 
However, it CAN be made to work. I just hope you don't need to reinstall 
as many distros as I did to find how to do it. (Actually, the wireless 
wasn't the reason I loaded up so many distros. That was for a different 
reason).

Good luck with it,
See ya,
