Help w/ Linksy WPC11 v4

[Dominick Mandato]

Hello Lloyd,
     I'm a newbie to anything linux myself, personally I like the OS but its 
a real butt pain when it comes to getting anything to work!  I also have the 
same card you do.  I went to the Linksys website and got the driver for it, 
seems that Linksys uses the wlan-ng driver for the WPC11 Ver 4 card.  All I 
have to do now is download a precompiled kernel and install that, then 
install the driver and everyone in linux land is telling me it should work.  
I'll let you know if it does when I'm done, until then, I hope this email 
may have pointed you in the right direction.  As for me, its back to the 
HOWTO's of kernel compiling!

See ya!
