What is the card make and model?

Linksys WMP11, V4.

There is, apparently, ONE driver that should work, but it's $20.

Can you post results of lspci?

Someone said: ``The LInksys WMP11 contains a BCM4301 chip.''

If so, this is similar to what my old laptop has. It should be
straightforward to make it work.

Do this

sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh

Then after this your network manager should be able to see your card.

It will probably work. Myself, I only rely on wired networking for
anything important (like CNC machines).

Nice thing about where I live, nobody close enough to scarf into my
network. To try and hack it, one would have to be in my driveway, and
I'm home 98% of the time (geez, that's depressing now that I think about
it!). Network security isn't a big issue for me here.

Sure, but electrical noise and reliability are still issues.

I can go wire once I'm up and running, but right now I have this
computer upstairs while I'm reading the manuals and such. Really have
nowhere in the shop to setup another computer right now. -Might- be able
to snake a cable down through the floor and down to the router.

Post results of lspci, you should be able to make it work.

I will help you.
