Bummer
Windows driver will not even turn on the WIFI light. By using fwcutter I can get the card working but it will just cycle on and offline. Can't get on the internet went the the wireless is online either.

I just installed Mint 8 on my older Gateway laptop and it really fixed a lot of issues I could not get to work with other Linux OS's. I was so surprised my Broadband wireless was working. Problem now is the wireless will connect to my wireless router and then disconnect in a few mins. Then is will reconnect and then disconnect. It appears to be cycling on and off
