I, too, gave up on the Linksys under linux.  I had it
working under Redhat, but it took a while and I just
didn't want to spend the time again, so I went with
3Com.

The best place for information is at www.scyld.com,
the Scyld Beowulf people.  That's where I got the
drivers before.  It's been a long time, so I don't
remember specifics.  I never had a problem with the
Linksys once it was running, but I just don't have the
time to play with it anymore.

For what it's worth, they work fine under W2K.  If
only anything else did...

Good luck.

John
