RE: [SLUG] Wireless Mandrake

["Steven Chang-Lin Yu" <stevenyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using the WG311V2 using TI chipset, there is a project at sourceforge
rewriting the driver for it to run under linux, I heard some of the people
got the WG311V2 working in linux in the 2.4 kernel, but when I try to
compile it in kernel 2.6 under mandrake 10, I just get compiling error!!!

Sorry the card I am using is a Dlink DWL-G650+ it's using an TI chipset.
