I bought a KCorp Gold KLG-520 for my ancient Thinkpad. On installing 6.10
the installer asked if I wanted to use ndiswrapper or get the madwifi
drivers. I said ndiswrapper, put in the cd that came with the card, and
away it went. Works very well, and no messing about apart from setting up
a password etc.
