End to Wireless Woes

I spent hell getting my 54g card going under Linspire today. I suspect it all had to do with a bogus .inf file in the HP drivers I've had lately. I vaugely remember a 20k inf file about a year ago when I first tried Linuxant's drivers.. then the .inf file blew up to nearly the size of the .sys file that the system also needs. We'll I found a driver on emachines site that had the older 20k .inf file and ndiswrapper appears to be working. And I suspect that Linuxant's driverloader will also work with the smaller .inf file as well.

If speed is not a issue I'd seriously suggest getting a Orinoco Gold pcmica card from ebay.. they go for as low as 20 dollars and work just fine in any Linux distro with the least hassle.
