Default Wireless USB G Card

I've got a LinkSYS 802.11G WUSB54GP Portable USB Adapter. I also have a cheap dell true mobile USB 802.11B Wireless USB Adapter. The Dell works perfect but it is only B! I'd like to know how I can get my G card working. Anyone have any suggestions or got this working before?

Thanks!

You can use this: http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/

Or you can
1) Install the ndiswrapper2) Get the Windows version of your Wireless Card Driver. Copy it to your Linux System and remember the location.

3) Load the Windows Driver. Go to a shell and type
ndiswrapper -i <drivername>.inf

where <drivername> is the name of the *.inf file.

4)
Type ndiswrapper -l - you should see

Installed ndis drivers:
<filename> hardware present

5) Load the Driver. Type modprobe ndiswrapper

6) You are done! Configure the wireless adaptor with iwconfig command line utility or if using SUSE use YAST. Use ifup to bring up your device.

This method works but is often flaky. I would try to find drivers for Linux and your wireless card if I were you.
