[xubuntu-users] wireless card

[Jim Campbell]

I run Xubuntu Edgy on a ThinkPad T22 (PIII - 800mhz), and I've been able to
get my PCMIA card working out of the box.

I bought a Netgear WG511t off of eBay for ~$30 USD, including shipping.  I
was told to look for an Atheros (sp?) chipset, and that's what this card
has.  It doesn't require any additional drivers, nor any fiddling with
ndswrapper.

I do have to run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" after boot, but then
I just open up wifi-radar, and it finds any available access points, and I'm
able to connect & get an IP address w/o any problems.  There is probably a
way to automate the networking restart (or make it unnecessary), but I
haven't bothered with it.
