hey guys this will be my first post. yesterday i got bored so i thought i would look into the status of native support for my above mentioned adaptor. i hit #prsim54 got talking to a couple of the guys there and ended up getting the wireless-dev git tree and compiling it. i was impressed the adaptor attempted to connect but quickly hung the system. it did produce a bunch of errors in /var/log/messages but becasue i had to hard reset the machine i lost them. i could easily reproduce it if you would like. i'm running suse 10.2 atm and all of the relevent networking stuff is as of the most recent updates. i use wpa and a mac filter on my network and the system is entirley 32bit. if you need any info, or even (lol), my help let me know. i laugh coz i'm not exactly the most capable kernel dev out there. in fact i would say - when it come to the kernel - i'm nothing more than a very slightly experienced, intreged newbie anyway if you need anything gimme a shout - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
