question

[Roger Oberholtzer]

Depends on the distro. Some do not even call the wireless wlanX. Be sure to
check out www.linuxant.com. I went with this for my DWL-650+, which needs a
driver that is not part of the general Linux yet. It uses an intel chip
(exact one I have forgotten - but it is the one referred to in the above
site). Is yours a 650 or a 650+? Anyway, I have used the 650+ with the
linuxant driverloader, which actually loads the XP drivers that come with
the card. Both on an intel and an athlon laptop running SUSE. Worked fine
for both kernels. I have also used the linuxant driverloader with Gentoo and
that has also worked great. I would prefer an open source driver. But, as I
am not going to write one any time soon, linuxant was my way to go. The
existing open source driver for the 650+ card was quite unstable. It kept
losing touch with the access point. I decided the small cost of the linuxant
driver was well worth it for a system used by the wife and daughter.
