I've used two Edimax adapters without issue: they just work.
Really? The last time I tried, the fact that the Edimax adaptors did
not work was the second most duped bug in Launchpad. I've got a
neighbor that is getting Ubuntu next week, if the issue truly is
resolved. Thanks for the heads up.
Hmmm, if what you say is true, I'd better double-check.  I don't have
access to the machine in question right now, though, so I can't tell you
which kernel module it uses.

My receipt says the adapter I got was "Edimax EW-7318USg 54G 802.11
b/g".

The model was sold at http://lugradio.org/live/UK2008/ specifically as
"Just Works With Linux", which in my experience it did: that would have
been with Ubuntu/Hardy, though, not Debian.

More details later...

The kernel appears to have loaded these modules:
rt2500usb,rt73usb,rt2x00usb,btusb

Those appear to be the ones associated with the Edimax USB adapter.

I've just installed Lenny, but it failed to find my EDiMAX EW-7318USg wireless adaptor. Any clues as to how to get it to work would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Martin
