I used the realtek drivers linked to from the ndiswrapper page, those
worked fine for me. Neither the drivers on the linksys CD nor the
drivers from linksys web page worked *in any way shape or form(TM)*
for me.

As an aside I misgoogled on the WPC11 card before I bought the NICs,
somehow I missed the bit re: ver 4 does not work (natively) in linux.
The earlier versions were well supported under linux, why I bought the
card in the first place...
I ran them using ndiswapper for about 10 days (flawlwssly) until the
ver 3 cards arrived from linksys- they will swap ver 4 for ver 3 for
free although it may take a few (7 in my case) phone calls to get that
accomplished.
The v. 3 cards 'just work', and are supported natively in linux.
