Get the atmel wireless drivers from synaptic (atmelwlandriver-source) if you are having problems. The card has been buggy in the past, but appears to work well now. The retractable Xjack antenna makes it worth having!

Card works fine in Breezy with no special setup. Is not detected at install, but if you go to network settings and put ra0 where it says lo it will be detected. Probably have to manually put in the ssid. This card is recommended because of GPL drivers which are quickly advancing and will soon be in the official kernel.

Requires ndiswrapper. Use instructions in [http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/InstallationNdiswrapper ndiswrapper wiki]. Used the driver from the WindowsXP driver from the [http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&releaseid=R115321&SystemID=INSPIRON%20B120&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=11410&devlib=0&typecnt=1&vercnt=3&formatcnt=1&fileid=152055 Dell driver download page]. Unzipped the .EXE file, and found the driver in DRIVER directory. I also compiled and installed the latest version of ndiswrapper, per [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=104539 instructions]. Not sure if this is necessary. Also, this driver did not work until I ran ndiswrapper by calling it with it's entire path from the terminal. I tried twice installing the driver by calling simply ndiswrapper but it did not work. I checked the path of the command ($ which ndiswrapper) and it said /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper. $ /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper Perhaps it was coincidence that it just happened to cooperate with me just as I decided to call it using its full path? Not sure.

BREEZY: Works out of the box with breezy. Works well, even with WEP. (Note: Some G520 may use acx100 instead.) HOARY: Rev. B of this card will not work out-of-the-box with Hoary--the madwifi drivers that shipped with Hoary are too old. An updated linux-restricted-modules* package is available [http://ubuntupc.com/ubuntu/public-sources/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.10-5-386_2.6.10.5-1gb_i386.deb here] Note that this package is not officially supported.

Open System Access Point and WEP work out of the box. For WPA-PSK I needed to install wpasupplicant (not included in Ubuntu). I used the Debian Sid package without any problem. This card also works with ndiswrapper. I used a D-Link DI-624+ router to test it. (upgraded firmware of the router, not related to linux nor the wifi card, router rebooted itself even when connecting a windows machine with a ethernet cable, applied last firmware, now doing fine)

Does not work for me unless I recompile the pci_acx module with latest patches. After that it works. WEP not yet supported for acx111 cards. Added_note: I confirm this card does not work with a default Hoary install: despite the fact that it worked fine with my Hoary install from Array 5. Go figure. The fault seems to be related to an error in loading the firmware which is present in the hotplug firmware folder.

Be careful, this card is not the same as the Netgear MA401 (without RA) which uses the prism driver. The MA401RA use the orinoco or the hostap drivers. To avoid a complete freeze of the system when the card is inserted, you may have to include a line "exclude=irq3" in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. Once done, everything works well. In Dapper, if you want to use (k)networkmanager, you may want to use the hostap driver instead of the orinoco one.

The latest ndiswrapper release source must be downloaded from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/] and the directions for building SetupNdiswrapperHowto 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
