linuxant seems like the way to go, if it supports the chipset. It isn't free, but there is a 30 day trial to help you find out if it works.

Email the chipset makers and tell them you'd like the docs released to the open source community.

I recommend avoiding crappy hardware developers and stick to makers that release documentation.

meh i dont like these so called trial programs, but i heard somewere that there was some kind of program that ports windows drivers into linux, ive never heard of the name but it sounds like what im looking for. besides that ill try the linuxant.

*edit, well i looked at linuxant (linuxant.com right?) and linksys isnt on the list of supported drivers...oh well :/

Linksys doesn't make the chipset. I bet broadcom does. Try it out.

Broadcom chipset. Developer hostile. Just replace the hardware and move on. Prism54 is the best supported choice at the moment.

It would be nice if they provided any documentation they got for the chipset on their site...
