I wouldn't use Belkin wireless products on a dare after their whole router firmware issue.

I have the PCI card working with the ndiswrapper
under Mandrake (and realising my mistake with Mandrake now trying to configure it
with Fedora).
I have had no problems with it at all.

In today's Sunday newspaper, Office Max is
advertising some very good
rebate deals on Belkin 802.11g wireless

54G. Is there a difference?) I was looking at
the wireless router and
the wireless notebook card. The PC card would go
in a Dell Latittude
laptop that mostly runs Windows 2000, but on
which I also run Linux
(Redhat 9 currently, though I plan to update to
Fedora Core 1). I know
very little about the relative merits of
different vendors' wireless
products. So I was hoping to get some opinions
from folks on this list.
Is the Belkin router and adapter worth having?
Will the laptop adapter
work with Linux? Any thing else I should know
about them?
I have a Belkin PCI card adapter , according to
the box '54g' and
802.11b compatible. It's a ' Network controller:
Broadcom Corporation
BCM94306 802.11g (rev 02)' for which there are no
working drivers in
Linux. HOWEVER....
I managed to get it to work using the gadget
available at
www.linuxant.com, if you feel like paying a few
dollars ($19 US).
There is also a project that does the ndiswrapper. http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ that may get
it working after a
bit of a fiddle. I haven't tried yet, and didn't
know about it until
after I'd got the driver from linuxant :/
The thing I like about Belkin is the 'Life time
warranty' if that's
any help to you . The thing I really dislike is
that they don't have
GPL Linux drivers available..
