In regard to Linksys WUSB11,
If you're starting from CD (or from Compressed Filesystem on HD) then any WUSB11 should be autodetected, I use Linksys WUSB11 version 2.6 (this version is NOT compatable with v2.5 or wlan-ng) Knoppix automatically sets-up my card and I can get on the net with no problems. Unfortuanelty, I have no idea how to make this card work on ANY other OS. Does anyone know which driver is used?
