Also, it works like crap. I need to restart my Atheros interface like 10 times before it connects properly.
I don't know about the legalities of madwifi, but I do agree that Atheros chipsets are crap, I would not buy another one.. even though it was only $20. =]
It was easy to get setup and running, but overall was very unreliable. At times I would have to reboot the box just to get the POS working again. It was running in a Xen dom0 though, so I didn't really figure out if that was causing any of the issues or not. I ended up deciding to snake a cable through the basement to the box, and throw the card in the trash. Works much better.

http://www.woot.com/ has a Netgear 111T and if you hurry you can get one today. They are $17.99 + $5 shipping. This has the Atheros chipset in it that is the same as my 511T. The "T" is the thing to watch out for here. Anyway, my 511T works in Ubuntu, Debian, Knoppix, DSL, Mepis, pretty much everything if they have the "madwifi" driver I believe. I got a 111T recently but haven't had time to try it. Maybe this weekend, but there shouldn't be a problem.

What's the quickest trick to get a proxim wifi usb adaptor to work with ubuntu?
Craig at my campground has tried everything for hours with no luck. Any suggestions are appreciated. Google etc has been a flat bust.
TIA
