Make sure you get the D-Link DWL-520 rather than the DWL 520+ . Dlink
switched from the Prism chipset to some unidenfied Broadcom chipset
in the '+' version, which isn't supported at all at Linux. I gather
that they've subsequently switched again and I've lost track of
whether the current chipset has any support or not!
LinkSys are just as bad in this regard, the current WMP11 doesn't
have a prism chipset (and at least D-Link had the decency to tag a
'+' onto the model name, LinkSys kept theirs unchanged).
Regards,
Pete
