The Atheros will just work. I have the Prism based card and never got it to work. Now I have Suse 10.0 and will have to try it again.
A tip about "64 bit hexadecimal encryption." Get your network to work without that, then enable WEP.

Well im absolutely brand new to linux and i would like to learn how to connect to a wireless network. I am using a dlink dwl-g650 to connect to my home wifi network. 802.11 g, 64 bit hexadecimal encryption. If anyone knows the very basic concept of setting up a wirless network connection, I would greatly appreciate if u could explain it to me as you would your grandmother.
Thx in advance,
CH
