    Hi,

    Could anyone help me to sort this one out? How do I go about working with this one under Debian? I've shopped around the net for clues but to no avail yet.

    Thanks!

    What are you trying to do with it? Theres no special apps that are OS-reliant except maybe the log viewer. Might be able to help more on BeShare (assuming you're the same Stas...)

    Argh its a card, not a router. Lemme look around a bit...

    Right, this is definately an ndiswrapper jobbie - the card uses the Broadcom 54G NIC that doesn't have Linux drivers except on MIPS.

    http://www.alexandern.com/Linksys_WMP54G_on_Linux.html covers some level of stuff about it.

    Theres no NDIS Wrapper in Sarge by default it seems, and I've no clue how to configure it - http://ndiswrapper.sf.net might help

    Oh, and you'll need the Windows drivers for it. It should work, as other cards with the same chipset (Dell, etc) work with NDIS Wrapper.

    Ah, I saw this ndis wrapper stuff, was thinking there's less painful way.
    Thanks C.
    Will talk to you on BeShare indeed.
