At one time Ornicoco was the way to go. I don't know about today.
'b' cards based on Orinoco chipset work fine. I've tested two recently with 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 kernels (one was original Lucent Tech card, the other was from some company that doesn't seem to exist anymore, forgot the name).
It is not Linksys that is to blame, but Realtek. I found the drivers on a different site. I think that I will search for them again and see if I can lsmod -f them. Should be interesting. Of course, this is after I check out the 2.6.10 series for FC3.
I'm not blaming anybody. If Linksys had two products, one with Linux driver, one without, buying a card from Linksys would still be an option.
As I see it, there's no point in buying a card that is not supported by Linux all the way if I intend to use it on Linux. If I had a card from before, than yeah, I'd use those solutions that allow me to use Windows driver on Linux. But I'm buying a new card for use in Linux box, so why not save myself some time and trouble and simply buy something that has a driver included in stock Linux kernel (as downloaded from kernel.org)?
