[CLUE-Tech] Linux 802.11b

[Match Grun]

We were talking about this card at work today. Apparently LinkSys
changed the chipset in this wireless card without changing the version
number. My card is marked WPC11v3 and works fine. A coworker has a card
with the same marking but it has a different chipset. Apparently the
card will also not function with Win/NT.

Anyway, there are supposed to be drivers for your card. You should
search the web.

Match.
