I intend to blog brainshare, but that's dependant on me getting my laptop in a state where that can be done. It's a middle-aged Inspiron 8000, and my wireless cards are giving me grief. The DWL-G630 I had locks up in the laptop from overheating, so I had to replace it. It got a Netgear WG511v2... which also doesn't have good Linux support.
The WG511v2 is my best bet. Right now I've got ndiswrapper running, and it loads the driver most of the time. Not always. And I get kernel panics three out of five times. Very kludgy. I get better results when the WAP doesn't have any sort of encryption, which the Brainshare WAPs won't. We'll see how it gets.
