Another word of warning - I've just bought one of these and can't get it 
to work at all under Dapper (2.6.15-27-386).  I've tried the stock 
drivers, the drivers from zd1211.ath.cx, ndiswrapper from the Ubuntu 
repositories and the latest stable version of ndiswrapper.  There are a 
bunch of HOWTOs on getting it to work under Dapper, but they are all out 
of date and/or wrong, most with followup posts saying "I can't get this 
to work with kernel version 2.6.X" (for recent values of X).

Does anyone have any advice on getting this to work, or should I chuck 
it in the corner for six months?

Cheers

Peter
