Hi Steve and all,

If you haven't already, google says to go here.
http://linux.oldcrank.com/tips/wpc11/

Which may direct you to one or another of a few other places depending on
your needs.

Good luck!

I have Linux running on a Dell Latitude C600 and it recognized the onboard
hardware with no problems. The only issues I've had thus far are that the
sound drivers like to downsample audio to half its original resolution, and
I am not sure how to get my Linksys WPC11 recognized for wireless access.
