linux-wlan-ng works great with the dwl-122, debian unstable, and
2.6.3-benh2 (and presumably any recent 2.6 kernel.org kernel). Had
some problems on yellowdog but they went away when we upgraded the
hotplug scripts.
Just make sure to read the whole README.... I missed some important
wlanctl-ng commands, causing me some frustration when things
apparently didn't work :>
