This is exactly why I stick with Proxim or Buffalotech, they aren't the usual moving targets like some other vendors. It's also nice to have the ability to pick up the phone and talk to someone about the product. They are usually quite willing to help. Speaking of companies who are willing to help check out http://www.demarctech.com. They post right on their website whether or not a particular card has Linux drivers available and they cater primarily to small, independent WISPs. Good bunch of people to work with. I hope all of this information has helped rather than furthered your confusion. -- http://pizon.org -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
