Does Linux have a device driver for my(or any) wireless eithernet usb device? I have a link sys.
Most Linux distributions (I use Ubuntu) do have support for wireless USB ethernet devices. I was so surprised at how simple the installation went. Ubuntu immediately recognized the device and used it.

Which distros will support a typical Netgear WG111 v3 USB network adapter? I tried the newest versions of Slax, Puppy Linux, Damn Small Linux USB, Mint 6.0 and nothing is working. Googling this issue turns up a lot of similar questions/complaints but no real solution other than ndiswrapper without explaining how to use it.

I agree with Tom Man, I don't see Linux replacing Windows anytime soon unless they start incorporating a better GUI.
