Linux and Linksys Ethernet Adaptors


"Just thought this information might be useful to others if it's not already known. I recently went out looking for a D-Link 620 pocket adapter for my Linux laptop. I was unable to find one at an affordable price, but everywhere I looked, there where Linksys adapters available and reasonably priced. I ended up getting a Linksys with the though of probably writing my own device driver. Well, I didn't have to, the Linksys works with the DLink-620 driver. And also, if you build the D-Link 620 driver as a loadable module, you can switch between BNC and 10BaseT interface on the fly, this is very handy for me since I have BNC at home and 10BaseT at the office."
