I have pretty much the same question as Ben, except that I'm in the
market for a wireless pcmcia card for a Dell laptop that I'm working
with. Most of the things that I see at the local super-mega
electronics stores aren't well-supported (yet) on Linux.
Of course, I want 802.11b support, and I'd like something that is
amenable to 2.4 and 2.6 kernels as well. 802.11g support might be
nice as well, but it isn't an absolute requirement (I'd prefer to be
cheap here). I don't have anywhere to go where I'd need 802.11a, so I
don't think that I need this.
Are there any recommendations for such a card? How about a
recommendation for a good mail-order place to obtain one of these?
Thanks,
