Hi,
maybe this one might help:
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/WLAN/Karten/D-Link
Since I have been trying in vain to get my Squeeze 2.6.32-5-686 run one of
those adaptors:
{USB_DEVICE(0x07D1,0x3c09)}, /* D-Link System DWA-140 RangeBooster N
Adapter(rev.B1) [Ralink RT2870] */
{USB_DEVICE(0x0DF6,0x0040)}, /* Sitecom WL-344 Wireless USB Adapter 300N X2*/
I would like to ask the question the other way round.
Is anybody out there running Squeeze 2.6.32-5-686 on a desktop using a wlan-
usb-adaptor at 54 or better at 300 N successfully?
Which brand of USB-adaptor?
Configuration?
I'll go out and buy this one instead of fooling around with the above
mentioned.
Reason why: a friend of mine told me, that these parts of the kernel are older
than the adaptors and so don't support recent adaptors. True?
Thanks and regards
Bernd
