installing gentoo

Hello

I have a Network Anywhere NWU11B USB wireless network adapter connected to this windows-running machine. I am wondering if the Linux kernel supports this device for installing gentoo on it.

it's a 503A chipset from Atmel. You can get a driver from http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/. On the same site is an excellent howto which describes setting up a Netgear MA101 (same chipset) on Redhat. You should follow those instructions.

BTW: this software is still kinda buggy and I had to change some lines in the src to make it work for my device, but it is quite stable after setup
