What confuses me, is that you can't use the same windows driver for the 
different versions.  they now have version 4.0 on their web site which 
needs a different driver disk than version 2.0 (version 3.0 was skipped)

i have redhat 6.1, you mean in 6.2 they finally included the v0.91g 
driver?????????? i don't believe it!! finally!!
          Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe4000000 [0xe4000000].

I bet you have the wrong version of drivers since there are now 4 different 
windows drivers for the linux card lying around.  by the way, i had a hell 
of a time trying to get two linksys cards to work in windows98 on the same 
system...it just wouldn't work, and i think the reason is that they were 
different revisions, so windows kept using the same driver for both and one 
of them always failed.
