I followed the development of the rt2400/802.11b wireless drivers for a couple of years. Last I heard the drivers for the RaLink RT2400 did not work with the SMP version of any kernel and only worked with the UNI version of the kernel. Gutsy installs the SMP version of the kernel with no facility I can find to replace it with the uni kernel without connecting to the Net.....so I was screwed and had to get rid of Gutsy.

Xandros 4.0 includes/d both SMP and UNI versions of the kernel and one could switch between the two without having to download anything.

I'd rather get a good 802.11g wireless card that works well with Linux......but I have had to resort increasingly to Windows both for wireless networking and for video capture and processing. Having been on Linux exclusively for the past 6 years, moving back to Windows has been a disappointment. I just don't have time to frig around with Linux any more. ...and this issue is just one more example.
