yeah, I have a WPC-11, and I've been very happy with it. I finally got encryption (albeit 64bit) working with the orinoco_cs driver, which means I don't have to wait for this guy to catch up with new kernel releases. I'm pretty sure that Linksys switched to Broadcom. That's actually part of the big stink over the source code for the WRT54G router they sell. It runs linux, and uses a Broadcom chipset. So we know a driver exists.

What cookbook would be complete without a great chicken wing recipe?

Have you tried the orinoco_cs module? Its included with the Redhat binary kernels.

Not to familiar with Orinoco cards, but I have a Linksys WPC11 v.3. I used the linux-wlan-ng modules, available as RPMs here.I don't have a WLAN to test it out on yet, but I will when I get back to school in about six weeks, so I'm not sure if it works. It does, however, flash the Link light, just as it does under W2K when it is seraching for a WAP.

It has always been up.

For commentary (and a sort of How-To) on my interacting with both Compaq *and* Intel on trying to get the multiport wireless option to work under Linux, check here.

Summary: Neither Intel or Compaq could/would help me, even discouraged me by telling me it couldn't be done. But, with a nice set of tools from these guys, I got it to work, and was even able to contribute to the project so that this device would be supported in the future.

Oh yeah. I also CC'ed Compaq and Intel's technical support ;) .

By the way, the builtin eepro100 was supported well by rh7.2's stock kernel, FYI (proof that integrators and distro maintainers are valuable methinks).

I just got it working.

Check here to see how.

No reason to wait:
patch-2.4.11.bz2(about 780kB) and the whole kernel (about 23MB).
