It doesn't play nice with GUI interfaces---they can display the configuration but you can't change it. You have to use a config file. I tried the NDIS wrapper method and failed.

<clue-tech@cluedenver.org><br>Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 8:48:02 AM<br>Subject: [clue-tech] USB Wireless compatability<br><br>I'm building a kiosk sort of computer for employee use while on break, and am planning on using Linux as the OS since I know it won't infect our network with anything *ware. However, there are no wired connections within a reasonable distance, but we do have a wireless network as well. The machine I'm planning on using does not have a PC Card slot, but it does have USB. Does anyone have experience using any of the USB Wireless devices with Linux? Any recommendations as to adapter? How about which Distro to use? I was thinking of using either CentOS, Knoppix (possibly from a hard drive install), or Fedora 5 (just happens I have the CD's on hand). However, I'm not set on any of these in particular if anyone has experience with other Distros that would work better.
<br><br>TIA<br><br>Russ<br>
