Hi,

Sorry to disappoint you, but the wpc11 v4 is almost unsupported in Linux. I brought my card back last Thursday after trying to get it working for about a month or so... If you would have had a v3 everything would have been fine.

If you search on the forums, there is one thread that has some interesting info about how you might get it to work (but there it turns out that even in the v4 series not everything is the same). I don't know the link right now (have it bookmarked on my pc, but not here).

Next time I see someone from Linksys I'll tell them not to change chipsets without changing the name of a product!

For the problem with your ethernet card you'll have to give some more specific information, I am afraid. What does dmesg say you? Just cut out the things in the output of that command that have something to do with networking...
