[oclug] wireless recomendations

[Allan Mcintosh]

I actually did all of that. The kernel documentation lists the DWL-g650
however the card I bought is a DWL-G520.

I was trying this with kernel 2.4.31 as I was having terrible luck 
burning dvd videos with 2.6.
Although, I am not married to the 2.4 kernel. I don't mind moving back 
to 2.6.
