You're the first person I've ever heard to get the Linksys W...54GS to 
work.  I've had a cute little Linksys WUSB54GS adapter for nearly a
year.  It works fine in Windows, but that's no use to me.  I've
failed totally to get it to work in Linux - Fedora Core 3 & 4 - using
ndiswrapper.  Ndiswrapper says the Windows driver is invalid.
I've never tried rebuilding the kernel with non-standard stack size,
though.

If you ever do get your WPC54GS to work, please let us know how.
I'd like to try the same strategy with the USB version.
I'd really like to get the benefit of -g mode with SpeedBooster.
I suppose the "SpeedBooster" is a proprietary Linksys thing, but I do
also have the matching WRT54GS wireless router.
