[olug] Linux Compatible USB Wireless Adapters

[Thomas D. Williamson]

Ultimately I found a D-Link DWA-131 at a good price, and was going to  
try the ndiswrapper. I went on line and found that D-Link provided a  
Linux driver for it. When I plugged it in openSuSE had the driver and  
it installed easily. Now getting the new router to work was another  
problem, but it had nothing to do with Linux issues.

I am have heard about ndiswrapper, but the openSuSE site that has the  
package seems to warn away from because of potential kernel changes  
that may cause other failures. Is this really a problem, or is there  
something else going on?

Thanks,

Tom
