I have a cisco aironet 350. It worked pretty much without a hassle, ONCE i
figured out that I needed to downgrade the firmware. I spent 3 months
trying to get it working, and someone says "what version firmware is it
using" - once the firmware was the supported version, i plugged it in, and
it worked.
