You can still find some very useful information. The problem ends up being using any sort of encryption other than WEP with newer cards that support WPA, WPA2, etc... I have successfully used a Zyxel G-102v2 802.11g card with different distros including Centos 4.x on an unencrypted network or with WEP, but when I try to get WPA working I run into a wall because the windows drivers don't work with ndiswrapper. good luck, cameron
