Came across this in my travels - havent tested them but looks like they support the internal wireless G card in the 5680 - I will update as I know more.

Thanks, Bratag. You are spot on as usual.
Now, for the dumb newbie question, should I use the prism.54 or the linuxant wrapper for ease, performance, and plain old laziness?
Best wishes and Happy New Year,
Martin

Well one is free and one costs 20 bucks - I tested the prisms tonight and they work - but there seems to be a timeout issue with them - I will test more and see what comes about

Dear Brat and friends,
Well, in spite of my newbie incompetence, I have, in debian nonetheless, the linuxant driverloader with the prism drivers from the floppy, and it is flawless.

I had the usual noob panic, but I always build things that touch real hardware from source, and I am, at flrst glance, impressed. I really want to thank Bratag publicly for giving me the guts to try this stuff, and telling me to buy the 5680 in the first place.
What is most interesting is the difference in performance. Usually from where I am sitting now, the same card in windows cuts out pretty often, and does not in linux, even though the drivers are theoretically the same, although it loads the nt rather than xp variant. I wonder....

Thanks to all of you, and best wishes,
Maritn

Nice work Yad. I have the same issue - under linux I have no problems seeing the router/s buit under xp it cuts in and out.
