    I have one of those cards but have not tried to get it working under
    linux yet.

    Recommendation is to figure out which chip set the card has. Different
    versions of the same model card used different chip sets you need to get
    that figured out first. Check out the linksys web site and do some
    google searches. Should be able to find that out fairly easily.

    Then look for a project that supports that chip set. I did that for a
    Dlink DWL-G650 card and found the prism54 project which had drivers that
    worked under linux.

    You might be able to get the ndiswrapper stuff to work with it as well.
    That project takes the windows drivers and gets then to work under
    linux.

    I may have time this weekend to work on the WPC54G card. Been wanting
    to get it working so I have spare. Also want to see if it shows up
    differently than the DWL-G650 card in the network configuration tools
    under linux.
