Running Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake. Detected card immediately and showed as active in Network Settings, but unable to connect to access point. Follow instructions in this thread http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75448&highlight=5410 and everything seems to work just fine! |

The latest ndiswrapper release source must be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/ and the directions for building WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper followed while replacing ndiswrapper-1.1 with the version downloaded (i.e. latest at time of writing = ndiswrapper-1.5); everything works except the signal strength monitor, probably because it gets compiled against version 17 of the wireless extensions instead of 18; lastly, you'll probably need to install gcc3.4 using Synaptic otherwise build will fail |

On Feisty, the udev rule should be: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idProduct}=="011b", ATTR{idVendor}=="0baf", ATTR{bConfigurationValue}="1". Value 011b depends on product (use lsusb command). Works fine with USR5421X.inf and networkmanager. |
