I picked up a usb wireless unit (Trendnet, model #TEW-424UB) a while back, to use with my laptop. I've tried the unit with 6, w/o much luck. Has anyone else picked up this brand and have some tips? I'd like the wireless to work while at the airport, coffee shops and etc.

Find out the chipset first.
lsusb may come in handy.

You will STILL need to know the chipset, whether it's USB, PCI, PCMCIA whatever.
Drivers in Linux are far more based on chipsets than individual brands.
Common wireless chipsets are Atheros (madwifi drivers), Broadcom, Prism, Intel etc. A lot work with ndiswrapper, Intel has a firmware you have to load I believe.
They all need different drivers.
This is why I told you before to find out the CHIP SET.
for your USB device, you can use lsusb to get the chipset name, for your PCI (PCMCIA?) card I think lspci will do it.
Just to repeat - don't bother with anything until you've found out the chipset you have.
The next step is loading the driver.
Regards,
Ed.
