Thanks for your feedback.

I am using the driver from the CD-ROM. According to Linksys' download
page it's the most up-to-date driver they have (dates back to 2003)

The wiki-list for WMP54G v3 suggests using this driver
WMP54Gv4_20040415.exe

Which is very weird because WMP54G v4 has a different chipset (Ralink
RT2500). The exe file does contain a broadcom driver though. I'll give
it a shot tonight see how it goes.

My main issue I guess is I used to be running this on kernel 2.6.7 with
ndiswrapper 0.8 and things were peachy. Now that I've upgraded to 2.6.11
and 1.1 it doesn't work as well and freezes my system (no caps lock
flashing, keyboard not responding). And that's using the same windows
driver.

Thanks.
