The devices stated above are both 802.3 which is ethernet. Anyway, I found one project on Sourceforge for the AT76C503A chip that is found in both of the usb adapters I have tried to make work. <rant>I really _hate_ plastic hardware. I felt like I was going to break the studid thing, peeling the case apart. Of coarse I wouldn't have needed to do that if Linksys had of been nice enough to include that information _somewhere_ that is publicly accessible.</rant> So, the pegasus driver is not going to work for my adapter. Is there anyone that might be will to write a driver for such a thing? I would certainly be willing to trade code for whatever.(fairly open whatever) I really want to use usb adapters for this project. The MB are "all-in-wonder" specials. So, I'd just as soon not stress their resources more than need be. The most frustrating part of it is: the machines dual with win***s, it is brainless to make it work under the redmond tree.
