I need to buy a USB Wireless that works under DSL. I need a faster device if is posible.

Please, is important that works under DSL without difficult installation or external complex drivers.

Thanks for this incredible distro!!!

I use a Netgear MA111. I use the DSL control panel Prism2 button to configure it. The only odd thing I found is that I have to enter the correct SID for my access point or it will not work. A blank or an * will not let it connect.

Good luck

I have used an orinoco silver and gold card. These are 11b, but worked right out of the box.

Hi

I have since found that by entering double double quotes "" for the SID when using the Prism2 pushbutton I don't have to enter the exact one for my access point.

good luck

Make sure you note the distinction between v1 and v2 versions of the MA111...v2 does not work with DSL.
