    I've also switched my office machine over to linux
    after years of enduring Windows. Simultaneously, I've
    moved to a new office where the internet connection is
    through a wireless access point. We're all given US
    Robotics USR5420 802.11g wireless USB adapters. I
    managed to get this thing going with Linuxant's
    driverloader software, but there are a few issues. One
    that seems obviously related to driverloader is that
    everytime I shut the system down, the shutdown stops
    at trying to unload the driverloader module, and I
    have to do a hard reset, which I'm not happy about.
    I've verified that the driverloader rpm is for the
    correct kernel version, etc.

    The other problem is of unknown origin, but basically
    the connection drops from time to time. The hardware
    seems to be communicating with the access point fine,
    but I lose my IP lease and routing information, and
    nothing I do (except rebooting, which then entails a
    hard reset) can bring it up again. I'm using WPA-PSK
    to encrypt the wireless signal, but all the XP
    computers are using a protocol that SuSE 9.3 doesn't
    support. Are there any bright ideas as to what the
    problem here might be?

    I'm thinking of just going out and getting a wireless
    card that is better supported. Any recommendations?

    Corvin
