   I bought a KCorp Gold KLG-520 for my ancient Thinkpad. On installing 6.10   
   the installer asked if I wanted to use ndiswrapper or get the madwifi   
   drivers. I said ndiswrapper, put in the cd that came with the card, and   
   away it went. Works very well, and no messing about apart from setting up   
   a password etc.
