thanks to all who responded to my request for a CRT.
I have one now that will most likely work. If not, i'll ping those who responded and make arrangements.
Happy New Year!
Stephen, where are you located?

Hello All,
I found this card on newegg.com for cheap money and the company
claimed Linux support, so I got it. So far, I have it working on a
WEP test network, but the driver package does come with WPA-supplicant
bits. I assume that works as well. Folks online claim it works out
of the box on Ubuntu 7.10, but my laptop didn't do well with the newer
Xubuntus, so I had to make do. Note, out-of-the-box, the rt61 driver
provided by Xubuntu 6.06 LTS throws a stack trace and can wedge your
system. I found that you need to build the company's rt61 driver.
Here was my procedure for 6.06 LTS:
1) Install gcc and friends,if you haven't already.
2) Update to the latest kernel packages.
3) Install the linux-header packages for your platform (I used the 386
packages).
4) Download the driver zip for the ew-7108pcg from the Edimax
website's support area, unpack it, and the unpack the tar ball inside.
5) cd into the IS_Linux_STA_6x_D_1.1.1.0 directory
6) run make
7) Ignore all the compiler warnings ;)
9) run sudo make install
10) Add "alias ra0 rt61" to /etc/modules.conf or into your preferred
location in /etc/modules.d if it wasn't automatically added.
11) Add correct bits to /etc/network/interfaces
So, that being said (I am typing this email via the card now):
1) On boot, the card comes up, but does not go online. Ifconfig has
configured the interface, but iwconfig shows no essid or key
configured.
2) I opened the Applications->System->Networking tool. The tool shows
the interface as active. I can "activate/deactivate", but likewise
iwconfig shows no configuration.
I can only bring the interface up via running "sudo ifup ra0". My
wife's probably not going to go for that ;).
Does anyone have any ideas about what plumbing I am missing to get
automatic configuration?
Thanks!
-Adam
