I would have to borrow a card and be given the module for such consideration.

I can compile the module for you if you wish. :;):

How about me compiling a module for a Release Candidate and you bake it into the RC and return the result to me and I'll check if it works. :cool:

Compiling a modules is not a problem.
Dropping a module into the base is not going to be a practical issue.
Size outstanding. Not having a card to integrate the software is the problem. I know I had to borrow a card from a user before I could make a wireless dsl extension that would integrate into DSL.

Maybe, lets try this route:

What are the brand names of said cheap cards?
Maye I can a piggy bank to break into.

I, for example, have a Sweex networking card, which is a pretty well known brand in Europe. The card cost me about $23 . Some people noted that they're also used in more well-known brands such as Linksys.

But how about my proposal that you compile support into a DSL RC candidate and me and other RT2500 users testing if it works? That way you would have reviews of multiple RT2500 cards from different manufacturers.

I am trying to get the Belkin wireless G USB "stick" to work. It's a Belkin Model# F5D7050

I have the driver files in the /tmp directory but thats about as far as I hve gotten. I think I need to add (wlan0) to the system map in grub? or something. Can someone help me with this setup and then i can try the ndis wrapper.
