One thing you have got to keep in mind is that when someone tells you that a EW-7318UG works great in his box, and he bought the dongle about a year ago, and the Manuf. made the same model # this year, but he puts a different Manuf. Chipset in the same model# this year. This is what a large number of Manuf. do and the poor old Linux guy gets caught. Because there is no Driver for that chipset yet. You have got to watch those Version #, and then that isn't always the truth.Mike wrote:Phil Rhoades <phil <at> pricom.com.au> writes:People,I have been struggling with a Linksys wpc54g card and I have pretty muchgiven up on it - I just want something that works reliably and "out of the box" with native Linux (Fedora 8) support - instead of usingAlthough the following suggestion is not for PCMCIA but for a usb dongle I have been using an Edimax EW-7318UG usb wireless adapter for some time on an old laptop running F8. It uses the rt73usb driver that is in the current kernels and works out of the box with no further ado. I get a solid 54Mbpsconnection and have had no hassles with it at all. If you have a spare usb port I can certainly recommend it. HTHThis is odd. I have an EW-7318UG dongle which I have tried in vain to run on F8. When I configure it I get a whole list of devices non of which is this device. If I do a lsusb I get: ID: 148f:2573 Ralink Technologies, Corp and I can't see that mentioned either. What magic have you done to make it work?
