I'm trying to use the windows drivers to get this to work, but no luck thus far. Has anyone ever gotten a Belkin USB3100 wireless card to work with Lucid 5.8.2?

Sorry for the mislabel, I'm so used to dealing with Belkin's I guess I have them on the brain.

Any luck connecting, what method have you tried so far?

I have been using a WNA3100 under XPP/SP2 and Slacko 5.3 and recently updated to 5.3.2.9

Same story for 5.3... Using NDISWRAPPER installs properly and allows WPA2 connection to A/P then Puppy freezes shortly thereafter (within 30 seconds, typically).

I need to re-check but I believe the same is true under Wary 5.2

The WNA3100 is occasionally quirky under XP and will just drop out after a few days, a restart brings it back. This behaviour is not "Sleep" related, I only power down monitors & HDD's or hibernate, never sleep.

I have other adapters and wired ethernet but if anyone has this thing working it would be nifty.

Should be ar9170usb module and is included in puppies
like lucid, racy, etc.

On newer 3.xx kernel probably uses ath9k_htc module.
