802.11g 54M 1000mW 30dBm Realtek 8187L USB WiFi Adapter on eBay (end time 25-Mar-10 07:48:21 GMT)

Will this be compatible with backtrack and all linux distros in general?

thanks

It should be fine. I thought i read somewhere that the 'L' chip did have an issue with something, but I cant find it now. It looks like a complete knock off of the ALFA 36, which is what I just got, and so far it seems to work good, but im still playing

sadly, all this took was one search on google. my keywords were: realtel 8187l aircrack-ng.

wanna know what showed up as the first result? the aircrack-ng wiki's compatibility list. surprise, surprise.

please, please, please search before posting. please.
