Wireless PCI network card on Linux
Hi All

Does anyone have recommendations for Wireless PCI cards that are supported, with reasonable ease, by Linux (Suse 10.3).

I'm currently contemplating the Linksys WMP54G

Or ... should I be looking at the USB options?

Thanks

Chipsets with Atheros and Atmel Drivers are your best bet really.

Re: Wireless PCI network card on Linux
I bought an INEXQ USB wireless adapter and have been using LINUX for about a month now it work fine. LINUX seems to pick these things up no problem I'm using a Buffalo WHR G54S which I'm recommending to everyone not had a minutes problem with it speeds don't seem affected

Re: Wireless PCI network card on Linux
I think most RALINK based cards work as well, I had a rt2600 based card working at one point although I think I did have to play about with it a bit to get it working with WPA properly...

Re: Wireless PCI network card on Linux
Depends which version of the WMP54G - I have had lots of problems with a BCM4306 version of the WMP54G (v2 card, I think) under Fedora. The later WMP54G's should be Atheros chipsets, which seem to be a better bet.
