I had 4.2 on an armada laptop with a dwl-650 in it since the owner wanted to do a fully wireless network ..... It never stuttered and you can run the card configuration utility that comes with the linux drivers using linux compatability. I have yet to find a wireless nic for 802.11b for under 149.00 Jim C. P.S. Leo and Patrick on zdtv say that the Linksys and Dlink wireless stuff is the same hardware with different "skins" and software....
