Avoid WPC11 v.4, it requiers a propietary driver from Realtek to work. WPC11 v3 and under work fine with DSL right from the LiveCD.

I've been told that Linksys will exchange a V4 for a V3 if you write to them.

Odd .... I have a linksys WPC11 ver3 and I have tried it with 4.10, 5.0 and 5.1 and I get nothing with either live CD or HD install. Is it possible that my card is mislabeled or have I done something wrong?

wlanconfig says no wireless found
netcardconfig says no supported network cards found
cardmgr says unsupported card in socket 0
ifconfig only shows lo

label on card says model no. WPC11 ver3

I have a Linksys wpc11 v 2.5 and it's never worked, with hard drive install or live, with any versions of DSL or any knoppix distro with the exception of mepis distro, it worked.

Tried my WPC11 v3 with knoppix 3.3 ... it behaves properly.
