I'm trying to get work a WMP54G Linksys Wireless card. I should work with .ko normal driver (ra.ko or ral.ko don'r remember) but it doesn't. I tried with ndisgen and so on ... In fact all what i found on google don't work more than 2 seconds. The ndisgen is the one who work the best but as soon as you want to ping or transmit data, it cause a kernel crash. It work on all other syst?mes (NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux and so on) I'm not an expert and i'll give up if i'm not helped. Can you please help me ? Thanks a lot, Olivier

So before you buy a card, you need to know the chipset that is used on the card, so you can check if it is supported. Sometimes you can see it on the packaging, but usually you have to take a look at the card. And it can happen that all the chips are behind a metal shield, in which case you're out of luck.
